Qashqai bagface, early 20th century

Measurements: 66cm x 64cm

130 Knots per inch

Price: £190

This is one of a pair although I have decided to offer them separately. This example is quite finely knotted and has a more muted madder field than its partner. Asymmetrically knotted with lustrous wool, the design is packed with motifs as one might expect. The central hooked diamond is picked out in a deep blue that stands out against the background. The meandering floral border is simplistic but beautiful and on being on an ivory background it provides a calmer border to frame the busy interior.

Condition:

Fair condition, some wear and the flatweave bottom has been cut with some wefts missing in the middle section.
