A vintage Qashqai saddlebag woven with a very small and intricate pattern. The patten is intricate and the weaving tight. The back of the saddlebags normally is left with very little decoration, but is not the case with this saddlebag which also has a very elaborate pattern.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 123×62 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1980s
Turkic-speaking pastoral nomadic tribal groups began entering central and southern Iran during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.The Qashqai, as a large tribal unit, dates back at least to the early eighteenth century, when some Turkish(Turki)-speaking tribal groups in the region existed under the name Qashqai.
Qashqai kilims are best known for their boldness and and freedom in the way the pattern is drawn. An aesthetically pleasing geometry, the fineness of their wool and their clear, strong colours combine to ensure their reputation as superlative examples.
