Vintage Qashqai Saddlebag 128x70cm

This charming vintage Qashqai saddlebag is a striking example of traditional nomadic weaving from the tribes of South Iran. Once used for practical transport on horseback, these pieces now serve as coveted collectible textiles and decorative accents in interior design.

The rich red background is emblematic of Qashqai aesthetic tradition and serves as a bold canvas for a beautifully rendered vase design, from which tree-like branches extend, each ending in stylised floral blooms. This unique botanical motif speaks to the weaver’s connection to nature and storytelling through craft.

Woven using handspun wool and natural dyes, the piece boasts vivid, earthy colours and a soft, tactile quality that reflects its handmade origin. Whether displayed on a wall, draped over a bench, or used as a decorative pillow conversion, this saddlebag brings an authentic tribal touch and historic charm to any space.
