Complete Set of Very Rare Antique Saddle Bags - Shahsavan of Moghan North West Persia - Late 19th Century

North West Persia, last Quarter of the 19th Century - Weft float brocaded fronts. Multi coloured striped plain weave backs. An exciting item for the collector of these pieces or anyone who wants to bring a touch of the tribal to their home, these rare tribal bags will attract attention from all who admire, and be a great talking point. Amazing to find such a great ethnographic item. Complete with the original leather protection binders and front covers with straps and buckles with a little metal thread embroidery to front of one! I doubt this item was ever made to be exported originally. Completely handwoven and bound in the late 19th century, they were a utilitarian object made by the girls of the tribes and used to transport whatever would fit in them, over the back of a donkey. **Rare item indeed [ Opened out as in image 1** Reduced price to £1495 GBP, best one I have ever had. It can also be purchased from website. Ref: Abs 290
