Beautiful Qashqai Rug from Around 1950
This semi-antique rug, woven by the Qashqai tribe around 1950, stands out for its unique composition and strong decorative character. The central field features the boteh motif, arranged in diagonal lines. If you look closely, each boteh points in a different direction, creating a striking sense of movement and dynamism.
The border continues the motif from the central field, but on a beautiful emerald green background with an elegant abrash — those subtle color variations so prized by collectors — ranging from emerald green to turquoise, a rare combination in this type of rug.
The wool is soft, shiny, and in perfect condition, indicating that this piece was highly valued by both the weaver and its later owners.
Looking for a distinctive, characterful rug? This might be the perfect piece for you.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 228×145 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1950s
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.
