Antique Qashqai Polychromatic Rug with Medallions and Pictorials - Rug and Kilim

About the Item

Made with hand-knotted wool circa 1890-1900, this 6x9 antique Persian rug is a Qashqai tribal rug, and an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s curation of nomadic rugs and folk art. On the Design: This turn-of-the-century rug presents an umber play of brown, red, black, blue, green and cream colorways underscoring geometric patterns in a play of medallion and all over style. The rug is teeming with rich detail and presence, exemplary of rugs from this tribe and period. Admirers of the craft will recognize this as a rich work of Persian folk art, full of old-world charm and the personal beauties that distinguish its kind to this day. Keen eyes will further note this rug’s particular emphasis on animal pictorials on the field and borders alike, and one of the many tribal elements that speak to this rug as a piece of culture—a rare find for both connoisseurs and designers today. Condition: This antique Persian Qashqai rug further enjoys excellent condition for its origin and age.
