This antique Persian tribal horse blanket cover originates from the Qashqai tribes of south west Persia during the first quarter of the twentieth century. Constructed from wool and cotton, the piece displays a cream and multicolour palette with a polychrome raised wool pile design on an undyed wool ground. Comprising two halves stitched together, the upper section features geometric panels containing figurative motifs of a camel, a human figure, peacocks, and a double-headed dog, alongside multicoloured edge tassels and woven side flaps. Visible signs of age include tiny areas of wear and some staining consistent with tribal use. The textile measures 147 cm high, 149 cm wide, and 0.5 cm deep, excluding the tassels. In a modern home, this utilitarian wall display piece suits placement above a sideboard in a living room, hallway, or study with a Glastonbury boho interior design scheme.

FAQs

Qashqai textiles were created by pastoral nomadic tribes roaming the Fars province in southwestern Persia. Traditionally woven on portable ground looms, these items served practical equestrian and household functions while displaying tribal identity through unique geometric symbols and motifs.

These covers are typically hand-woven using locally sourced hand-spun sheeps wool for both warp and weft, sometimes utilizing cotton for flat-woven ground sections. They incorporate a combination of flatweave, soumak, or pile techniques, decorated with dyed wool yarn tassels and hand-embroidered figurative elements.

Authentic pieces exhibit variations in colour tone known as abrash, caused by hand-dyed wool batches using natural vegetable dyes. The weaving typically shows slight asymmetry from the use of temporary ground looms, along with traditional regional motifs such as stylised camels, birds, and geometric human figures.

These textiles function effectively as wall-mounted artwork, bringing colour and texture to large vertical spaces. They can also be draped over low seating, wooden benches, or display frames to add a tactile focal point in contemporary or eclectic rooms.

Keep wool textiles away from direct sunlight to prevent natural dye fading, and ensure the display environment is kept dry and free from moths. Cleaning should strictly be performed by professional textile conservators using low-moisture or dry cleaning methods.
