19th Century Persian Afshar Tribal Area Rug

Vintage Persian Qashqai (Ghashghai) Tribal Area Rug, hand-knotted in Southwestern Persia circa the mid-1900s. The Qashqai nomadic tribes are celebrated for their distinctive weaving traditions, producing rugs that are as rich in cultural narrative as they are in beauty and durability. This Qashqai rug showcases a classic traditional tribal design format, centered around a prominent single large medallion that anchors the composition. This central motif is beautifully complemented by four smaller medallions thoughtfully placed within the corner spandrels, creating a harmonious and balanced layout. The vibrant red field color provides a warm and inviting backdrop for the design. The central medallion stands out in a deep dark blue, while the corner spandrels feature a contrasting small medallion in creamy ivory. The palette is further enriched with accents of bold blue, refreshing green, and spirited orange, characteristic of tribal weaves. True to their heritage, Qashqai tribes primarily utilize natural vegetable dyes for their rich hues, with the exception of the vibrant orange color, which often signals a charming, subtle deviation common in mid-century tribal pieces. Woven entirely from all-wool material, this rug offers a soft yet incredibly durable texture, designed to withstand generations of use.

A beautifully preserved antique Heriz Karajeh area rug, handwoven in Northwest Persia circa the late 1800s. This piece features a refined geometric layout with three small medallions aligned vertically along the central axis, set against a deep navy blue field. The medallions display a striking palette of abrash-dyed blue, ivory, and pale green, surrounded by traditional tribal motifs in soft rust, sage green, and ivory tones. The main border, rendered in a rich rust-red, frames the central composition with balance and warmth. Notable for its fine weaving technique and thoughtfully restrained color palette, this rug reflects the transitional qualities of late 19th-century Karajeh craftsmanship—blending tribal boldness with refined elegance.
