Brian MacDonald Antique Rugs & Carpets has dated these Antique Qashqai Saddle Bags to the 1900s.
This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.
Both bags are in good condition with original plain-weave backs and on each face, a lovely array of beautiful, warm colours with soft, glossy wool. Within the red central lozenge of each bag, is depicted the Qashqa'i emblem which I was told when I spent several months with the tribe back in the early 1970s, symbolised a scorpion.
The price quoted is for the pair but I am prepared to sell each bag separately, if one only was required.
Size of each bag: 62 x 57cm (2' 0" x 1' 10").
