Woven by the nomadic Qashqai tribes of southern Iran, this impressive piece was most likely commissioned for a tribal leader, reflecting both status and exceptional skill. The carpet showcases a triple medallion design, carefully aligned across a deep navy blue field and enriched with stylised floral motifs and geometric tribal symbols.
A soft cream main border, framed by complementary secondary borders, provides balance and elegance while enhancing the boldness of the central composition. At one end, a subtle abrash, a natural variation in dye, adds depth, movement, and authenticity, serving as a hallmark of genuinely antique, naturally dyed rugs.
Hand-knotted from handspun wool and coloured using traditional natural dyes, this Qashqai carpet offers both durability and warmth, while ageing beautifully over time. Whether placed in a grand dining room, sitting room, or a curated collector’s interior, this carpet is a commanding statement piece that carries centuries of nomadic heritage and artistry.
