Antique Handmade Persian Qashqai Rug – 155 × 112 cm (5 ft 1 in × 3 ft 8 in)

Authentic Persian Craftsmanship • Tribal Single Medallion • Fine Lamb’s Wool • Naturally Dyed Colours

This beautiful antique handmade Persian Qashqai rug is a superb example of the bold tribal artistry for which Qashqai weavings are celebrated. Hand knotted by skilled tribal weavers, the rug features a striking single central medallion surrounded by an abundance of symbolic tribal motifs, stylised flowers, animals and geometric elements, giving it remarkable character and authenticity.

Measuring 155 × 112 cm (approximately 5 ft 1 in × 3 ft 8 in), this versatile rug is perfectly suited to a living room, bedroom, study, entrance hall or beneath a coffee table.

The rug displays a rich madder red field beautifully contrasted with deep indigo blue, soft ivory, warm camel, olive green and subtle sky blue accents. The beautifully matured natural colours have developed a wonderful depth and warmth over the years, giving the rug a genuine lived-in character that only antique tribal rugs can offer.

Hand knotted from fine lamb’s wool on a wool foundation, this durable tribal rug has a soft handle while remaining exceptionally hard-wearing. Professionally hand washed and ready for immediate use or display, it is ideal for heavy domestic use.
