20 X 40cm Antique Qashqai Chanteh

19th century
Description

This little jewel is extremely unusual and devastatingly charming to boot. It's a small, double sided, personal bag that would have hung at the waist of the wearer and carried small important things like money or keys. A status symbol and the higher the quality, the more wealthy and important the owner. This is as fine and detailed as they get and one of only a handful known to have a silk weft. A real collectors item.

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Qashqai Chanteh Bag to the 1880s.

FAQs

A chanteh is a small, handwoven pouch created by Qashqai nomadic tribes in southwestern Persia. Traditionally crafted to carry personal items, mirrors, or small tools, these pieces demonstrate complex knotting techniques and rich tribal symbolism on a miniature scale.

Qashqai chantehs are woven using locally sourced sheep wool for both warp and weft, often with symmetrical or asymmetrical hand-knotted pile. Natural vegetable dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects provide the vibrant red, blue, saffron, and cream colour palettes.

Authentic Qashqai pieces feature fine wool, soft handles, and asymmetrical geometric or floral motifs such as diamond lattices and central medallions. Look for slight irregularities in size and colour variations, known as abrash, which indicate traditional hand-spinning and natural dyeing methods.

These small woven textiles are frequently displayed as decorative wall art using discreet mounts, framed in shadow boxes, or placed flat as accent mats on tabletop surfaces to add texture and historical character to a modern space.

Keep the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of natural dyes. Gently vacuum using a low-suction upholstery brush attachment without a beater bar, and consult a specialist textile restorer for professional dry cleaning or repair.
