A striking pair of cushions crafted from an authentic antique Beluch (Baluch) saddle bag, originating from the tribal weaving regions of Iran / Afghanistan and dating to the early 20th century.
Handwoven in richly dyed wool, the front panels display bold geometric motifs set against a deep indigo ground, with warm madder reds and soft natural tones throughout. The design and palette are characteristic of Beluch tribal work—highly sought after for their depth of colour and strong, graphic presence.
Each cushion retains elements of its original construction, including sections of the handwoven backing and traditional finishing details, offering a tangible link to its utilitarian past as a saddle bag.
These pieces have been thoughtfully repurposed to create functional yet characterful interior accents—perfect for adding warmth, texture, and authenticity to both modern and traditional spaces.
