Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Pronounced horizontal abrash in the indigo ground: yarn dyed in small village batches.
Wool foundation exposed along the ends: weaving on nomadic horizontal looms.
Finely rendered Kashkuli boteh repeats: traditional south-west Persian tribal composition.
Gentle, even wear across the wool pile: many decades of careful domestic use.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This antique Qashqai Kashkuli rug originates from south-west Persia and dates to circa 1880. Hand-knotted from velvety wool onto wool foundations with terracotta-coloured wefts, the piece has a dark blue abrashed field. The design incorporates repeating boteh patterns with tree of life elements towards the top and bottom, alongside botehs enclosed on both sides by stylised tree of life motifs. An inner ivory-coloured reciprocal border contrasts against the blue field, complemented by intricate cream and terracotta floral multi-band borders. The edges and sides are even and secure. Measuring 224 cm high by 130 cm wide with a 0.5 cm depth, the carpet fits well in a gentleman's library or study as a floor covering. The wool pile has been hand-washed and de-dusted, presenting clean surfaces without repairs or reweaves.

FAQs

Qashqai rugs are woven by nomadic tribes in southwestern Persia, with Kashkuli pieces representing one of the finest weaving sub-tribes. These rugs are historically distinguished by high knot density, soft wool, and complex geometric interpretations of natural motifs like the boteh.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation. The dyes are derived from natural vegetable and mineral sources, such as madder root for reds and indigo for blues, which create subtle colour variations over time.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-bound edges, wool warps and wefts, asymmetrical knots, and slight irregularities in symmetry. The presence of natural abrash, which is gentle tonal shifts in colour across the field, also confirms hand-dyed wool.

A vibrant tribal rug serves as a foundational element, anchoring minimalist furniture, modern mid-century wooden pieces, or traditional leather upholstery. The rich blue and terracotta tones complement neutral floor finishes, polished stone, or dark hardwood flooring.

Suction vacuuming without a rotating beater bar prevents fibre wear, and regular rotation ensures even light exposure. Professional dry cleaning or specialist rug cleaning should be performed periodically to protect the wool fibres.
