About the Item

Illustrating a leopardess prowling the jungle floor searching for her next prey, this vintage Persian Qashqai leopard carpet measures 3’10” x 6’3”. Inspired by the Panthera Pardus Juliana, also known as the Persian or Caucasian Leopard, the Qashqai tribe utilizes imagery of big cats to symbolize a spiritual leader. The leopard motif, detailed in organically dyed wool, sports a green dotted camouflage on its soft cream torso. A multi-level border, detailed by gold, indigo, orange, green, red, brown, and cream wool, features vine and floral motifs and encircles the interior field. The foundation and fringe, composed of a wool warp and weft, are covered by a sewn canvas wrap, allowing easy cleaning and vacuuming and providing a clean, contemporary look. 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...
