About the Item
Exquisite Antique Persian Qashqai Rug - A True Masterpiece
Transport yourself to the rich heritage of Persian craftsmanship with this remarkable Antique Qashqai Rug, dating back to the 1870s and measuring 4'5" x 5'8". The light blue hue, achieved through natural dyes on wool, adds a touch of vintage charm to any space.
It's condition is fair to good.
While its condition may bear the marks of time, consider it a testament to its journey and the stories it holds. This rug, with its unique and unusual colors, is a true work of art, perfect for collectors and admirers alike. Its geometric motif design in beautiful multi-colors adds an element of sophistication to any setting.
The Ghashghai nomads, residing in the southwest province of Iran, weave a narrative of movement and tradition into each rug. Twice a year, they migrate between winter pastures near the Persian Gulf and summer pastures in the Zagros mountains. The carpets, with their typical red-brown ground color, feature patterns tied from memory, often showcasing centrally placed medallions, humans, animals, birds, trees, and flowers.
This Qashqai rug, with its hexagonal or diamond motif and projecting hooks, exemplifies the distinctive Ghashghai style. Some pieces even carry the Hebatlu design, named after one of the smaller Ghashghai tribes, featuring a circular central medallion and smaller designs echoing its elegance in each corner.
Technical specifications reveal the meticulous craftsmanship behind this piece, with wool yarn pile, wool or goat hair weft (usually two after each row of knots), and wool or goat hair yarn warp. The symmetrical knots further underscore the rug's traditional authenticity.
Beyond being a floor covering, consider this Antique Qashqai Rug as a canvas of history, an extraordinary piece that not only adds warmth to your space but also narrates tales of nomadic life and Persian artistry.
