This antique Qashqai rug from Iran truly ticks all the boxes: it is in mint condition, with a full pile, exceptionally soft wool, and a highly intricate design. This level of detail is made possible by its fine, tight knotting.
The quality of both the wool and the dyes is superb, with a rich use of indigo blue. This rug is clearly the work of a master weaver.
It has one minor repair and a small stain.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 196×123 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1920s or earlier
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 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.
