AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

The antique bag shown in the photo is made of burlap, as indicated by the keywords. It is a flexible, rectangular model, whose coarsely woven texture is clearly visible. The thick, regular weave of the canvas evokes bags formerly used for transporting or storing agricultural produce, grains, or various goods. The dominant color is a natural beige, typical of raw burlap, with slight nuances due to wear and tear over time.

On the visible side, the bag shows a prominent diagonal crease and some signs of use, including a darker circular stain located on the right side, at mid-height. The edges are simply overlocked, with no apparent reinforcement or visible closure. No markings, logos, or inscriptions are present on this side. The overall appearance is authentic, with a consistent patina and irregularities that testify to past use.

The side seam, visible on the left of the image, is straight and regular, characteristic of robust storage bags from the first half to the end of the 20th century. The item is presented upright, which allows observation of the material's flexible drape and the bag's simple structure. The bottom is not visible, in accordance with instructions, but the presentation suggests a model with a single opening at the top.

The canvas surface shows several small signs of wear, soiling, and slight discoloration in places. These traces add to the retro character and authenticity of the item, without compromising the overall integrity of the bag on the side shown.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Shows signs of use, a visible dark stain, and several marks of wear on the canvas. No apparent structural defects on the visible side, side seam intact.

Did you know? Jute canvas is a natural vegetable fiber particularly used in the 20th century for the manufacture of transport bags for agriculture and industry. Resistant and biodegradable, it was long favored for bagging potatoes, coffee, or cereals, before the advent of synthetic materials.
