Cheerful Vintage Qashqai Kilim with Fine Weave and Traditional Motifs
This vibrant vintage Qashqai kilim radiates warmth and energy. The bold red central field is filled with “comb” motifs, cleverly arranged in varied orientations to create a dynamic, rhythmic pattern. These motifs are repeated within the three main medallions, tying the composition together.
The weaver paid careful attention to detail, especially in the multiple borders, which include the traditional Lale Abbasi motif — a distinctive geometric design often seen in tribal weaving.
A joyful and expressive piece that embodies the spirit and craftsmanship of Qashqai weaving.
The kilim is finely woven, reflecting both technical skill and artistic intention.
👉 Please note: there are small repairs in the medallions, consistent with the rug’s age and use.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 244×156 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1970s
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.
