Origin: Qashqai Bag Face Persia
Circa: 1900s
Material: Pure Wool
This petite antique Persian Qashqai face rug is a captivating piece of nomadic artistry, woven initially as the decorative front panel of a tribal saddlebag. Featuring a bold diamond medallion filled with intricate rosettes, stars, and tribal symbols, the central design is framed by a serrated edge and flanked by multicoloured corner motifs, each bursting with geometric energy.
The palette is quintessentially Qashqai: vivid reds, inky indigo, ivory, saffron, and green, dyed with natural pigments that have aged gracefully. The surrounding border is animated with stylised animals and angular motifs, giving the piece a playful and symbolic edge.
Handwoven with fine wool, this bag's face exemplifies the skilled craftsmanship and rich storytelling tradition of the Qashqai nomads. Whether displayed as wall art or used as a collectable textile, it brings authentic Persian tribal character in a compact and visually powerful form.
Authentic vintage and antique Persian rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.
