Vibrant Tribal Narrative: Antique Handmade Persian Qashqai Wool Rug
Embark on a journey through nomadic artistry with this authentic handmade antique Persian Qashqai rug, meticulously woven from durable natural wool in Persia around the 1930s. Qashqai (also Gashkai) rugs are celebrated for their distinctive bold geometric designs, rich colors, and the captivating integration of stylized animal and human figures, reflecting the vibrant culture of the nomadic Qashqai tribes of southwestern Iran. This remarkable piece is in good condition, retaining its powerful original character and ready to bring a piece of living history into your home.
Bold Medallions with Symbolic Figures on a Rich Red Field
This striking Qashqai rug features a series of prominent, nested hexagonal and diamond medallions arranged along its central axis. These medallions, along with the surrounding rich red field, are densely populated with a captivating array of stylized animal figures – including birds, deer, and other creatures – as well as charmingly rendered humanoid forms and geometric motifs. The figures are depicted in a vibrant palette of white, blue, black, and various multi-color accents, creating a dynamic and symbolic visual narrative.
The rug is framed by multiple intricate borders, each filled with bold geometric patterns, repeating symbols, and abstract figures, in contrasting colors that highlight the central design. The hand-knotted wool pile is robust and tactile, a hallmark of Qashqai weaving, and presents itself in good condition for an antique from the 1930s.
Durable Wool & Rich Cultural Heritage
Crafted with generations of traditional hand-knotting techniques, this wool rug is a testament to the resilience and artistic ingenuity of tribal weavers. Its antique status from the 1930s, combined with its good condition, makes it a valuable and practical addition to any interior. The natural dyes have retained their vividness, ensuring that the rug remains a compelling statement piece.
An Expressive Statement for Eclectic Spaces
Measuring approximately 8 feet 9 inches by 5 feet 1 inch (271 cm x 156 cm), this antique Persian Qashqai rug is perfectly sized to serve as a captivating focal point in a living room, dining area, or a spacious study. Its bold geometric design and unique storytelling motifs make it an ideal complement for bohemian, eclectic, rustic, globally inspired, or modern tribal interiors, promising to be a cherished heirloom and a fascinating conversation starter.
