About the Item

21696 Antique Persian Qashqai Tribal Rug, 05'00 x 07'06. Persian Qashqai rugs are handwoven by the Qashqai nomadic tribes of southwestern Iran, known for their vibrant colors, bold geometric designs, and distinctive motifs such as diamonds, stars, and stylized figures. Made with high-quality hand-spun wool and woven using the durable Turkish knot technique, these rugs feature rich reds, deep blues, and earthy tones derived from natural dyes. Each rug reflects the cultural heritage, beliefs, and lifestyle of the Qashqai people, often incorporating symbolic patterns that convey stories or traditional values. Sought after for their unique artistic expression and durability, Qashqai rugs are highly valued in both traditional and eclectic interior designs. This hand knotted wool antique Persian Qashqai rug, a stunning example of nomadic artistry, exudes a rich canvas of colors and intricate patterns that transport us to the heart of southwestern Iran's Fars province. The intimate patina presents a harmonious blend of deep indigo, warm rust, and beige, forming a captivating field that holds an array of tribal symbols and motifs. The central medallion, a hallmark of Qashqai design, is flanked by a dynamic interplay of stylized animals, flowers, and geometric shapes, each element narrating stories of life, nature, and the vibrant cultural heritage of the Qashqai people. Surrounding the central field is a meticulously crafted Herati border featuring an inner and outer birds-on-a-pole guard guard band, echoing the nomads' connection to their environment and traditions. The main Herati border is a symphony of interlaced leafy palmette designs and angular floral patterns, accentuating the rug's overall composition. The use of natural dyes derived from local plants and minerals lends the rug its timeless vibrancy and authenticity, ensuring that its colors remain vivid and enchanting even after more than a century. Every knot and thread of this antique Qashqai rug speaks to the skill, creativity, and passion of its weaver, making it not only a functional piece of art but also a precious cultural artifact. It reflects the Qashqai tribe's deep-rooted tradition of storytelling through textiles, where each symbol and design carries meaning, whether for protection, fertility, or celebration. This antique Qashqai rug, with its stunning artistry and historical significance, would be a cherished addition to any collection, seamlessly blending the past with the present in any interior space. Rendered in variegated shades of rust, brick red, terra cotta, navy blue, brown, sienna, tan, taupe, ecru, sand, sky blue, oxblood red, and green with other accent colors. ​Distressed.
