Qashqai chanteh with stars
This bag, the preceding one, and the next, were all purchased from the same dealer in Holland. Also Qashqai, this piece has a classic infinite 'star' design and is finely woven. The dyes, some of which are tip-faded, especially in the tassels, would suggest that it was made in the first half of the 20th century. The orange colour in the field, as is so often the case, is problematic. It may be natural, but it could just as easily be artificial. In any event, it doesn't detract from the bag's overall appeal. It measures 30 by 28 cms.
