Vintage Qashqai Rug 177x90cm

Grey-ground Qashqai rugs are a rare and special find, and this piece is a beautiful example of tribal Persian weaving with unique colour harmony and symbolic motifs. Woven with high-quality wool and dyed using natural pigments, this rug balances craftsmanship, symbolism, and subtle visual depth.

The abrushed grey field—uncommon in Qashqai weavings—serves as a moody, sophisticated backdrop for three bold medallions, each incorporating a stylised scarab beetle motif. Traditionally symbolic of protection, rebirth, and endurance, these motifs add historical and cultural depth to the rug’s overall design.

A central cream medallion anchors the composition and provides contrast, while the rich red frame surrounding the field adds warmth, structure, and a sense of tribal identity. The interplay of soft and strong colours gives this piece a harmonious presence, suitable for both traditional and modern interiors.

This well-woven Qashqai rug is not only a decorative treasure but also a conversation piece—ideal for collectors, interior designers, and anyone with an eye for tribal authenticity and visual refinement.
