This charming Qashqai mat is a beautiful example of tribal weaving from the nomadic tribes of South Iran. Compact in size yet full of character, it showcases the vibrant colours and storytelling motifs that define Qashqai craftsmanship.

At the heart of the mat lies a central medallion featuring the iconic Qashqai scarab beetle—a symbolic motif often associated with protection, transformation, and cultural identity. Framing the medallion are flower heads in each corner, softening the bold geometry with touches of natural elegance.

Woven with vivid vegetable-dyed wool, this mat has a fine, tight weave and a delightful colour palette that makes it suitable as a decorative accent, entryway piece, or even as a framed wall hanging.

Whether you’re a collector of tribal textiles or simply drawn to rugs with narrative and vibrancy, this Qashqai mat offers an inviting blend of artistry, tradition, and soul.
