{"product_id":"baluch-chanteh-bag-cushion-small-sized-310435p","title":"Baluch Chanteh bag cushion small sized - 310435P","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis deep red and black, tasselled cushion showcases the accentuating contrast between the fawn and the burgundy. Its multicoloured tassels, paired with its fawn and dark-coloured Kilim edge, decorate the cushion’s exterior, magnifying its beauty—a green-and-yellow striped border snakes around the edges of the cushion, framing its darker complexion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis small cushion is another great example of repurposing: a chanteh bag made by the Baluch, an ethnic group indigenous to Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan, who are well known as a nomadic Sunni Muslim group who largely live from the land. They utilise their craft skills in weaving, making items often decorated with tassels, beads or shells, which are traded for goods they could not produce. These bags have now been turned into wonderful small decorative cushions. The pieces were probably made more than half a century ago, perhaps even nearer 100 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cushion in this curated collection is hand-knotted using vegetable dyes and hand-spun wool. Both sides of the bags were knotted, and so they are completely reversible; they will have some signs of age, which is to be expected and enjoyed. We hope you love these handcrafted pieces as much as we do. They will undoubtedly bring a sense of their history and past to your home, where we are sure they will be admired and appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esize:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"342\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 256pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"191\" style=\"mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 6101; width: 143pt;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"151\" style=\"mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 4821; width: 113pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\" style=\"mso-height-source: userset; height: 15.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"20\" class=\"xl69\" width=\"191\" style=\"height: 15.0pt; width: 143pt;\"\u003e35 x 35 cm approx\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl70\" width=\"151\" style=\"border-left: none; width: 113pt;\"\u003e(1'2 x 1'2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jennings Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55622281199992,"sku":"310435P","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1281\/1783\/files\/310435P0aVintageChantehCushion.jpg?v=1785503607","url":"https:\/\/www.jenningsrugs.co.uk\/products\/baluch-chanteh-bag-cushion-small-sized-310435p","provider":"Jennings Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
