A very finely woven semi-antique Qashqai rug with a lattice work pattern, arranged diagonally by colour . Although the design appears to be regular and rigid at first sight, on closer inspection, we can find lovely tribal details that the weaver has used to fill in the empty spaces: some geometric abstract motifs and some cute little animals! A charming rug.
The pile of this rug is thick and very dense due to the high knot density. The dyes are natural.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 208×118 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1960s
Turkic-speaking pastoral nomadic tribal groups began entering central and southern Iran during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.The Qashqai, as a large tribal unit, dates back at least to the early eighteenth century, when some Turkish(Turki)-speaking tribal groups in the region existed under the name Qashqai.
Qashqai kilims are best known for their boldness and and freedom in the way the pattern is drawn. An aesthetically pleasing geometry, the fineness of their wool and their clear, strong colours combine to ensure their reputation as superlative examples.
