Vintage Qashqai Bag face 65x61cm

This striking Qashqai tribal rug showcases one of the most iconic and symbolic motifs in Persian weaving—a design inspired by the Persepolis palace pillars, complete with stylised horses’ heads at either end. The motif pays homage to Iran’s ancient architectural heritage and reflects the enduring cultural pride of the Qashqai nomads.

Woven in the Torki (Turkic) weave—a hallmark of high-quality Qashqai craftsmanship—the rug features a central Hashtgol medallion, meaning “eight flowers,” composed of eight elegantly curved paisleys. This motif is rich in symbolism, representing balance, harmony, and continuity—core themes in Persian design.

The combination of geometric structure, tribal symbolism, and refined detail makes this rug a compelling addition to any interior, whether used on the floor or as a decorative wall hanging. The careful use of handspun wool and natural dyes further enhances its authenticity, depth of colour, and long-lasting beauty.

This is more than a decorative rug—it’s a piece of tribal identity and Persian history, woven into a timeless textile.
