1900s Antique Persian Qashqayi Bag Face - 16" X 17"

Quiet utility, storied pattern

A compact Qashqayi bag face, hand‑knotted in natural wool, holds the room like a small, certain note—bands of midnight blue, brick, and saffron repeating in calm rhythm.

From trail to table

A 1900s Qashqayi Salt Bag, now at home

Singular by hand

Rooms often need something modest yet meaningful—an object that brings history without crowding the space. The 1900s Antique Persian Qashqayi Bag Face carries quiet color and pattern in a small 15 x 18 inch footprint. Hand‑knotted in natural wool with intact closures and worn strap remnants, it shows life already lived. It settles onto a surface and starts a conversation without asking for attention.

The tone it sets

The salt-bag scale invites intimacy—you notice the wool, the cadence of motifs, the depth of natural dyes under daylight. Its portable size moves from entry console to bookshelf with ease, meeting the day where people gather. A single piece like this brings coherence to mixed interiors; it anchors other objects and softens harder edges. It feels collected rather than arranged.

For the collector who lives with pieces

Someone who appreciates hand‑knotted tribal textiles, works at smaller scales, and wants an antique with intact details and natural dyes.

Ways to live with it

Lay it flat on a console or coffee table as a textile centerpiece, or hang it as a compact wall accent where its pattern can be read up close.
