Antique Qashqai Khorjin Bag 0.53m X 0.26m

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Rug Addiction
Description

A fabulous antique Khorjin double bag woven by the nomadic Qashqai tribe at the beginning of the 20th Century. The designs of each side are very similar with a central rosette on an ivory field with four animal figures (either dogs or goats) in the corners. Finely woven for a tribal piece with soft, lustrous wool. These Khorjin were woven to transport possessions during their biannual migrations. However, I have never seen one this tiny! It’s only 53cms by 26cms and I can’t imagine it would have been much use for carrying anything, let alone what animal it would actually fit on! A very charming and unusual bag.

Size: 0.53m x 0.26m (1ft 9in x 10in)

This bag is in good condition with light, age related wear. Small amount of restoration to secure the kilim on the back (see photos). Fringes and selvedges are secure and it has been professionally cleaned.

Free worldwide shipping.

This antique Qashqai Khorjin double saddlebag comes from the nomadic Qashqai tribe, made around the beginning of the 20th Century in a tribal style. The hand-spun wool fabric displays red, navy blue, and cream colouration, featuring geometric central medallions on an ivory field with animal figures in the corners, diagonal stripe borders, and braided closure loops along the opening. The weave shows light age-related wear with a small amount of restoration securing the kilim on the back, while the fringes and selvedges remain secure. The piece measures 53 cm high, 26 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. It works well in a home today when hung on a narrow wall space to add a Glastonbury Boho textile accent to a living room, hallway, or study.

FAQs

A Qashqai Khorjin is a traditional double saddlebag woven by the nomadic Qashqai people of southwestern Iran for transporting goods on pack animals.

These bags are constructed using hand-spun wool dyed with plant-based extracts, featuring hand-knotted pile fronts and flatwoven backs with braided loop closures.

Authentic pieces exhibit slight natural colour variations, flexible wool warps and wefts, geometric latch-hook or medallion motifs, and traditional edge bindings.

Tribal bags can be mounted on walls as textile art, styled atop sideboards and consoles, or repurposed as textured accent cushions.

Position wool textiles away from direct sunlight, vacuum gently with a suction-only attachment, and consult a professional conservator for deep cleaning.
