Semi-Antique Qashqai Rug, Iran
A beautiful semi-antique Qashqai rug from Iran, made with some of the finest quality wool — soft, lustrous, and naturally shiny. The design is rich in detail and remarkably elaborate, achieved through extremely fine weaving and a high knot count. The background features an unusual grey-blue tone, rare among Qashqai rugs.
If you’re searching for a “paradise garden” design, this is the piece — filled with a profusion of finely woven bushes and floral motifs.
A strong and durable rug, ideal for high-traffic areas of the home while retaining all the refinement and beauty of traditional Qashqai craftsmanship.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 166×111 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 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.
