No. 722 - Vintage Taimani Bag Face Product Number: No. 722 Era: 1980s Origin: Herat, Afghanistan Material: Wool x Wool Size: 48cm x 51cm (excluding fringe) Thickness: 5mm This piece, with its calming ash gray and brown color scheme and child-like scribbled patterns, is a tribal rug from the Taimani people residing in Herat, Afghanistan. It was originally the face of a saddlebag called a "khorjin," used to carry items on camels, which has been repurposed into a rug. The gentle color palette and the soft texture of the roughly woven wool are characteristic of Taimani rugs. Its size, perfect for use as a seat or plant stand, makes it a versatile mini-rug, and is recommended for those new to tribal rugs. As a vintage rug, it is approximately 45 years old, but being originally a bag, it doesn't show much wear. There are no noticeable stains or damage, and no repairs are visible, making it in good condition. There are two of these available, so please let us know if you are interested. ◎ Regarding the Products Some items have undergone professional repairs in Iran or at the local supplier, but some are not repaired, prioritizing the overall appearance, such as when there are no significant issues. Please understand that there may be minor repairs that we may not notice. We purchase these items from local sellers as having been cleaned, but please be aware that some sand or pile debris may remain. Also, occasionally there may be nail marks from drying after cleaning, but these will blend in with use. * Items with significant issues are cleaned domestically during inspection, but if necessary, this is noted in the description and reflected in the price. Finally, regarding the rugs themselves, there is a characteristic wool smell. Measurements are taken from the center, but please understand that there may be errors due to the distortions inherent in hand-woven items, shrinkage from water cleaning, and color unevenness due to aging from plant-based dyes. We believe that these are also part of the charm of vintage rugs.
