2'x2' Vintage Persian Salt Bag | Hand-Knotted Wool

A Collector’s Textile with Timeless Soul

Elevate your space with a one-of-a-kind accent piece: this vintage Persian hand-knotted salt bag (also known as a “namakdan”)—woven by women artisans using organic hand-spun wool. Once used by nomadic tribes to carry salt across vast terrains, these pieces are now coveted by interior designers as decorative textiles, wall hangings, or sculptural accents with deep cultural roots.

This salt bag features a rich earthtone palette of soft yellow, warm brown, muted red, and creamy ivory, with a bold geometric tribal design that feels both historical and fresh. Whether styled as an entryway accent, layered on a console, or framed as a textile artwork, it instantly adds character, depth, and heritage to any interior.
