Vintage Qashqai Bag Face 65x63cm

This authentic Qashqai rug features one of the tribe’s most iconic and symbolic motifs—the Persepolis pillar with horse heads, a design deeply rooted in Persian history and tribal storytelling. Woven with the traditional Torki weave, this piece exemplifies the technical skill and cultural depth of Qashqai artisans.

At the centre lies a bold Hashtgol medallion, meaning “eight flowers,” formed by eight stylised paisleys arranged in a circular flower-like pattern. The Hashtgol is a symbol of balance, beauty, and continuity, and it serves as a powerful focal point that anchors the design.

The Persepolis-style pillars, with distinctive horse heads at each end, are inspired by the grand architectural columns of the ancient Achaemenid palace, adding both historical gravitas and visual impact. These motifs honour a proud heritage, connecting nomadic weaving traditions with classical Persian civilisation.

With its refined structure, rich cultural symbolism, and hand-knotted quality, this rug is as much a piece of art as it is a functional textile. It would make a meaningful statement in any study, living area, or collector’s display.
