Antique Qashqa'i Animal Trapping, Darrehshuri Tayefeh, Fars Province, South-west Persia.

1900 - 1920
Description

This beautiful animal band was woven in warp-faced alternating float-weave by the Darrehshuri sub-tribe of the Qashqa'i Confederacy around 1900.

Possibly a camel decoration rather than for a horse, the band is in remarkable condition, complete with knotted-pile tufts along both edges, five tassels and braided hanging cords at each end.

A rare find these days.

Size: 150 x 8cm (5' 0" x 3").

This antique Qashqa'i animal trapping originates from the Darrehshuri sub-tribe of the Qashqa'i Confederacy in South-West Persia around 1900. Produced in a Persian tribal style from wool, the piece takes the form of a long hand-woven band in warp-faced alternating float-weave. It displays a multicolour palette featuring red, yellow, and orange geometric patterns. The textile includes knotted-pile tufts along both edges, five hanging wool tassels suspended below, and braided hanging cords at each end. Measuring 8 cm high by 150 cm wide, the band presents a practical scale for display in a home today. The textile suits placement on a narrow wall space to introduce a bohemian aesthetic to an interior setting. It hangs horizontally against surfaces, functioning as a decorative tribal textile piece. The construction highlights traditional hand-crafting techniques with detailed geometric motifs and varied yarn colours including blue, white, and dark tones in the edging and tassels. The integrated cords allow for straightforward suspension from hooks or fixtures.

FAQs

Qashqai animal trappings were created by nomadic tribes in South-West Persia to adorn horses and camels during ceremonial processions, weddings, and seasonal migrations, serving as both decorative items and displays of tribal identity.

These textiles were hand-woven using hand-spun sheeps wool dyed with natural plant and mineral pigments. Techniques often included flatweave (kilim) structures combined with wrapped supplementary warps, finished with hand-tied tassels and braided fringes.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle colour variations (abrash) from natural dye batches, irregular hand-spun yarns, and traditional geometric motifs specific to sub-tribes like the Darrehshuri. The reverse side typically shows hand-worked construction details.

These decorative bands are frequently mounted as framed textile art on narrow walls, draped across mantelpieces, or suspended on custom rods to introduce colour, texture, and historical interest to modern interiors.

Display the item away from direct sunlight to prevent natural dyes from fading. Dust gently using a low-suction vacuum with a mesh screen cover, and consult a professional textile conservator for specialized cleaning or conservation mounting.
