About the Item

Antique Qashqai rugs and bags are highly prized for their vibrant colors, intricate designs, and exceptional craftsmanship. Originating from the Qashqai people, a nomadic group in southwestern Iran, these textiles reflect a rich cultural heritage and are known for their artistic quality. Region: The Qashqai people are based in the Fars Province of southwestern Iran, with Shiraz being a major center of their weaving tradition. Weavers: These textiles are traditionally woven by Qashqai women, with techniques and designs passed down through generations. Period: Most antique Qashqai rugs and bags date from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, though the weaving tradition is much older. The Qashqai are traditionally nomadic, and their lifestyle is reflected in the portability and practicality of their woven goods. High-quality wool is the primary material used, known for its durability and ability to hold vibrant dyes. Natural Dyes: Dyes derived from plants, insects, and minerals are used to achieve rich, enduring colors. Qashqai rugs typically use the symmetrical (Turkish) knot, which contributes to their durability and dense pile. Flatweave: In addition to knotted pile rugs, flatweave techniques like kilim and soumak are used, especially for bags and other utilitarian items. Qashqai textiles are known for their bright and bold colors, including deep reds, blues, yellows, and greens. Abrash: The use of natural dyes often results in slight color variations (abrash) within a single rug or bag, adding to its character and authenticity. : Common patterns include geometric shapes such as diamonds, hexagons, and medallions, often arranged in intricate and symmetrical designs. Floral and Animal Motifs: Many Qashqai rugs feature stylized floral and animal motifs, often integrated into the geometric patterns. Symbolism: Many motifs have cultural and symbolic meanings, representing elements of nature, protection, fertility, and daily life. Antique Qashqai rugs and bags are treasured for their beauty, craftsmanship, and cultural significance. These textiles are not only functional pieces but also works of art that offer a glimpse into the rich heritage of the Qashqai people. Collectors and enthusiasts highly prize them for their intricate designs, vibrant colors, and durability.
