Rare, impressive antique Qashqai rug. Double cream medallion, decorating a terracotta field with snowflake and pomegranate motifs. Cream diamonds with crosses in the centre are used to shape the corners and sides, which set the piece off beautifully along with the blue paisley border and the cream and yellow guard border. This is a piece full of character and life and reflects the beauty of nomadic design thinking derived from its surroundings—small reweaving areas.
