Antique Qashqai Rug 243x167cm

This beautiful nomadic tribal rug immediately captivates with its clarity of colour and refined design, revealing the use of high-quality natural dyes, fine wool, and expert craftsmanship. Woven by skilled tribal artisans, this piece offers both visual richness and cultural depth.

At the centre lies a bold blue medallion featuring a symbolic scarab beetle motif, representing protection and transformation—motifs rarely seen outside tribal weaving traditions. The medallion rests on a vibrant terracotta ground, alive with an assortment of intriguing nomadic motifs, each conveying meaning, memory, or tradition from the weaver’s culture.

A brown outer border frames the rug, decorated with stylised shrubs and a single flower head motif, providing balance to the central composition and grounding the overall design in earthy tones.

There are a few missing rows of knots at each end, typical for older tribal pieces. These are minor and do not compromise the rug’s structure or visual charm—they simply add to its authenticity and well-travelled character.

Perfect for eclectic interiors, collectors, or lovers of tribal textiles, this piece offers not just decoration but narrative and presence.
