Antique Qashqai Chanteh

This is a beautiful late 19th Century antique Chanteh woven by the nomadic Qashqai tribe. It is woven on one side with an attractive banded kilim on the reverse. The design features a diamond terracotta medallion on an unusual green field. These small vanity bags were woven by the women of the tribe and would have been used to keep valuable items such as jewellery or money. These antique Chantehs have become very hard to find and are highly collectible.
