Handmade Vintage Qashqai Rug 1940s 268 x 122cm (8.8′ x 4.0′)

This vintage Qashqai rug is a striking and expressive piece, woven in the 1940s and shaped by a way of life that valued meaning, colour, and craftsmanship over repetition. No two rugs like this exist. Its character comes from time, use, and the quiet confidence of a handmade object created to last. The design centres around rose-toned tribal medallions set against a rare golden yellow field. This warm ground gives the rug an immediate presence, while small floral and geometric details soften the composition and invite closer viewing. A sky-blue border frames the piece with balance, adding contrast without overpowering the design. Subtle colour variation at one end reflects the natural dye process and the handwoven nature of the rug. These shifts are not flaws but signatures of authenticity. The wool has aged well, retaining a healthy pile and a soft, tactile feel underfoot. This rug works beautifully as a statement piece in a sitting room, office, or bedroom. It brings colour without excess and history without heaviness. A confident, individual rug that adds depth and story to any interior.
