About the Item

Hand-knotted in red, cream, grey, brown, green, blue, and gold handspun wool, this Persian Qashqai carpet measures 3’8” x 5’11” and features a distinctive prowling leopard design. Plush, functional, and resilient in quality, the hand-knotted weave naturally produces a soft pile, including a durable foundation without latex or adhesives. The rich colors throughout the carpet’s design are achieved using organic vegetable dyes, preferred for their bright hues and fade-resistant qualities, while many of the neutral tones of the field exhibit the natural undyed colors of the sheep’s wool. Orley Shabahang takes pride in selecting and curating the finest vintage and antique carpets, ensuring that the preservation of this ancient art form will endure 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...
