This large vintage Turkman Tobreh bag from Northeast Iran is a rare find—particularly in such remarkably preserved condition. Traditionally used by nomadic tribes for storing and transporting belongings, tobrehs were integral to daily life, often woven with care and intended for long-term utility.

This piece is especially notable for its unusually large size and its minimalist design, which sets it apart from more densely patterned tribal textiles. The deep red field—a signature of Turkman weaving—is punctuated by two horizontal rows of stylised lozenges and bush motifs, introducing understated visual interest. A tiny solitary motif on one side adds an intriguing asymmetry, hinting at the weaver’s individuality and intent.

Woven with high-quality wool and dyed using natural pigments, this Tobreh exudes rich, earthy tones and a soft yet durable texture. It is a decorative textile with both functional and artistic appeal—suitable for display as a wall hanging, transformed into an ottoman, or simply appreciated as a collector’s textile.
