Rare Antique Qashqai Carpet
£18,000.00
1 in stock
This rare antique Qashqai carpet is an outstanding representation of traditional tribal Persian weaving, celebrated for its vibrant color palette, precise craftsmanship, and cultural significance.
Cherished by collectors in the West, Qashqai rugs are typically woven in small formats by nomadic tribes of South Iran. What makes this piece especially valuable is its unusually large size, originally commissioned for a tribal leader, reflecting prestige and the weaver’s finest skill.
The design features three intricately rendered medallions symmetrically placed on a deep navy blue field, interspersed with stylized floral motifs and tribal emblems. The main cream border is flanked by secondary borders, enhancing the carpet’s visual balance and sophistication. A subtle abrash at one end—a natural variation in dye—adds an authentic dimension of movement and depth, characteristic of genuinely antique rugs.
Woven with handspun wool and natural dyes, this Qashqai rug not only radiates warmth and richness but also carries the legacy of a nomadic heritage. Whether placed in a collector’s space, classic drawing room, or modern interior, this is a statement piece of remarkable character and rarity.
