Bakhtiari Khorjin Saddle Bag • Vintage Persian Rug / Wall Art (3'1"x5'9")

Bakhtiari Khorjin Saddle Bag • Handmade Oriental Carpet Wall Hanging • 3x6 Vintage Persian Rug for Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen, Entry & Study

✔ Handwoven nearly eight decades ago, this vintage Bakhtiari saddle bag rug showcases a playful interplay of tribal artistry and texture. Originally woven as a khorjin (double saddle bag) to drape over a pack animal, this textile unites three distinct techniques — flatweave, soumak, and pile — into one cohesive and deeply tactile piece.

The design celebrates bold rhythm and movement, with earthy taupe and chestnut stripes flowing alongside bands of indigo, blush rose, and sky blue, punctuated with punches of crimson, ivory, and aqua. The contrasting bands and transitions give it a uniquely painterly, abstract character rarely seen in traditional Bakhtiari work. Today, this textile makes a stunning decorative floor rug, entry accent, or wall hanging, radiating nomadic heritage and contemporary aesthetic appeal.
