Stunning antique Qashqai Rug from the tribes of South Iran. There are so many charming elements in just the four corners of this piece. It has a very spontaneous medallion, which is indicative of the free-flowing design concept of Tribal pieces. The lustrous wool, dyed with natural plant extracts is very soft and glowing. The cream border anchors the whole piece wonderfully. A few knots are missing from both edges and one end. Also some signs of wear, none of which detract from the beauty of this piece.

Size: 143cm x 81cm / 4'8"ft. x 2'7"ft.

Condition: Good, Knots missing from both edges and one end, some wear

Circa: 2nd Half of 19th Century
