Luri saddlebags, second half 19th century

Measurements: 55cm x 65cm and 51cm × 63cm

80 Knots per inch

Price: £550

A great pair of Luri saddlebags with shiny wool and strong tribal colours. Note the intricacy of the weft wrapping at the top of each bag. They both have their original backs which are stunning. These are high quality examples that would grace any collection and I will always acquire these pieces when I can as they have a purity that comes from being woven for personal use rather than to export, therein lies the difference between tribal and workshop.

Condition:

Good condition with as little old moth damage to one bag.
