Vintage Persian Shiraz Qashqai Tribal Rug 230 × 157 cm – Hand-Knotted Wool
A characterful vintage Persian Shiraz Qashqai tribal rug, traditionally hand-knotted in 100% wool on a wool foundation. The rug features a classic tribal composition with geometric medallions, stylised floral and animal motifs, and rich tones of red, burgundy, brown, ivory and black.
Approximately 72–80 years old, this is an authentic old Persian tribal rug with genuine age-related character. It shows uneven wear and areas of low pile, clearly visible in the photographs and consistent with its age and traditional use. Despite the wear, the rug retains a strong decorative appearance and attractive original tribal character.
The rug has been professionally washed and cleaned and is ready for use.

One small correction: at around 72–80 years old, I would describe this as vintage / old Persian Qashqai rather than “antique.” In the rug trade, “antique” is generally better reserved for pieces around 100 years old or more. This is also safer and more accurate for your website and Google listings.
