Vintage Hand-Woven Persian Qashqai Tribal Tapestry in Tree of Life Pattern

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.

Vintage Persian Kurdish tribal area rug or a wide runner, meticulously hand-knotted circa the early 1900s. Originating from the skilled Kurdish weavers of Persia, these rugs are renowned for their distinctive geometric designs, rich palettes, and the enduring quality of their village weaving traditions. This versatile Kurdish rug features a captivating geometric pattern that unfolds gracefully across its field. The central design is defined by a striking series of seven small medallions arranged in a single column, creating a strong visual anchor. The main field itself presents a harmonious interplay of deep blue and warm rust colors, providing a rich and inviting backdrop for the intricate motifs. This rug's wonderful design is further enhanced by the expert use of natural vegetable dyes. These organic pigments not only provide brilliant, saturated colors but also develop a beautiful patina and subtle tonal variations (abrash) over time, a hallmark of authentic village weavings that only adds to their beauty and character. The entire composition is elegantly framed by multiple borders, each displaying their own beautiful colors and intricate geometric designs. These layered borders provide depth and sophistication, perfectly complementing the central field and completing this charming village carpet from the early 1900s.
