This hand-knotted Qashqai tribal rug is a radiant example of southern Iran’s rich weaving heritage, blending bold design, vibrant color, and traditional symbolism. Known for their deeply expressive motifs and durable construction, Qashqai rugs are prized for their ability to combine function with storytelling—and this piece is no exception.

The rug features a rich red background, which serves as a vivid foundation for four striking medallions, each symmetrically placed to guide the eye and anchor the design. Blue-grey spandrels and side panels introduce a cool contrast to the warmth of the red field, bringing balance and depth to the overall composition.

Framing the field are intricate borders in creamy white and soft orange, adding delicate ornamentation and a cohesive finishing touch. These borders showcase traditional tribal motifs, hinting at the nomadic identity of the weavers and the landscapes they traversed.

This rug is offered in pre-owned condition, which enhances its appeal by adding a layer of patina, authenticity, and character. The gentle signs of age and use imbue the piece with a lived-in warmth that newer rugs often lack—making it ideal for interiors that value soulful texture and historical charm.

Whether used in a living room, study, or entryway, this Qashqai rug brings color, heritage, and storytelling into your home.
