Only 1 in stock
Traditional Iranian Baby Hammock: Antique Persian Baby Cradle
What sets this piece apart is its excellent condition and vibrant colours, which remain beautifully intact. The entire cradle is crafted from 100% wool, woven in two separate panels that are then expertly sewn together. The striking tribal motifs and colourful pompons adorning three sides are not only decorative but also culturally meaningful, suggesting this was woven as part of a bride’s dowry.
The rich design reflects the ingenuity of Qashqai craftsmanship—combining function, safety, and ornamentation. Such pieces are not commonly found, particularly in such well-preserved condition, making this a highly collectible item for lovers of tribal art, ethnographic textiles, or antique nursery pieces.
Whether displayed as a wall hanging, draped over a chair, or featured as a unique collector’s item, this Qashqai cradle is full of charm, history, and heritage.
