About the Item
A rare and highly collectible piece of tribal history, this Antique Persian Qashqai (Gashkai) Bagface originates from the nomadic Qashqai weavers of the Middle East. Dating to the 1920s, this small, hand-knotted textile was originally woven to form the decorative front panel of a saddle bag or storage sack (Khorjin).
Measuring a perfect square of 50 cm x 50 cm (approximately 1.6 ft x 1.6 ft), this exquisite textile is ideal for framing as wall art or displaying flat on a table to protect delicate surfaces. Its small size ensures the intricacy of the tribal design remains the focal point.
It is skillfully crafted entirely from hand-spun wool using natural dyes. The design typically features the vibrant, geometric motifs characteristic of Qashqai weaving—often including medallions, stylized animals, or abstract symbols—on a rich, often saturated background color (e.g., deep red, indigo, or saffron).
This bagface is offered in good antique condition, displaying the uneven edges and minor wear consistent with nearly a century of life in a nomadic setting. These qualities only add to its authentic charm and heritage value. It is a true collector's piece that connects modern interiors to traditional tribal artistry.
