About the Item

Measuring 5' x 7', this vintage wool Qashqai Persian rug features a striking leopard figure in gray and green atop a red background. Handknotted by skilled artisan weavers in wool on a wool warp and weft, the artistry of the weaver's depiction of the leopard, a creature representing the battle of good and evil inside all men in Persian culture, can be seen in the details: the claws, the coat, the tail. Organic vegetable dyes created the extraordinarily vibrant hues that make the field and the stars of the border so spectacular, and the sage green of the leopard's coat so uniquely beautiful. The boldness of this carpet's design make it a striking heirloom-quality piece, crafted with ages-old techniques to be treasured for generations to come.

Vintage Qashqai Animal Rug, Red, Wool, Circa 1940s, 4’ x 6’
Located in New York, NY
This Persian Qashqai carpet circa 1940 was created using a wool warp, wool weft, hand-knotted pure wool pile and natural vegetable dyes. The central lion design is rather striking in the way it contrasts the carpet's red field, as well as in its detailed facial features. In Persian folklore, the lion symbolizes kingship, prestige, and the protection of sacred spaces. Its power is beautifully conveyed by the weaver of this piece, who created this carpet for ceremonious purpose. Taking a closer look at the border, one can see Qashqai villagers dancing in celebratory robes, indicating that this was likely woven as a wedding carpet...
