A striking vintage Qashqai rug featuring a large medallion encircled by several concentric borders that form a hexagonal shape. This hexagonal pattern creates a dynamic effect, giving the rug a sense of movement extending outward toward the edges. In the four corners of the red field, there are distinctive geometric motifs (perhaps buildings?). While the primary motifs are geometric, there are also stylized leaves and flowers scattered throughout.
The rug’s texture is firm due to the weaving technique of the warps and wefts, allowing it to lie flat and neatly on the floor.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 276×188 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 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.
