Antique Vanity-bag, Qashqa'i Shekarlu Tribe, Fars Province, South-west Persia.

19th century
Description

Small vanity-bags or 'chanteh' in Persian, were made by young brides as part of their dowry, and used for keeping their personal belongings in such as jewellery, coins and fullers earth. They were highly-prized bags, never intended for sale in their lifetime and often handed down to their female children before they got married.

This fabulous bag, made by Shekarlu nomads within the Qashqa’i Confederacy in Fars Province, south-west Persia circa 1880, has a sumptious knotted-pile with beautiful vegetable colours and a lattice design of symbolic motifs on the face. On the back are horizontal bands of red, blue and a stunning pea-green in plain-weave technique. The top opening retains its tie-slits in soumak technique with the remains of the ties on the inside.

This is a truly rare and amazing survivor of a long, lost art.

Size: 30cm (12") square.
