Antique Qashqai Bag 260x67cm

This intact antique Qashqai bag, thoughtfully opened out, has found a beautiful new life as a narrow runner or corridor rug. Originally handwoven by the Qashqai tribe of southern Iran, this piece reflects the utilitarian artistry and resourcefulness of nomadic life.

Crafted from high-quality handspun wool and dyed with natural pigments, this textile features a simple but deeply harmonious three-color palette, which enhances both its decorative flexibility and visual unity. The depth of tone achieved is a testament to the excellence of the materials and traditional dyeing techniques used.

Though modest in color variation, the design is rich in texture and character, and the piece retains its original charm and tribal authenticity. There are a couple of areas of discolouration, more noticeable in photographs than in person—common in antique textiles and reflected in the pricing.

Whether used as a corridor rug, hallway runner, or even as a wall-mounted textile, this antique Qashqai bag is both historically valuable and practically versatile.
