CIRCA 1870S-80.
 
SOUTH WEST PERSIA.
 
EARLY QASHQAI CARPET WITH A SCARCE ONE WAY STYLISED TREE OF LIFE RUNNING THROUGH THE MIDDLE WITH PROFUSE GEOMETRIC AND FLORAL MOTIFS. A QASHQAI MILLEFLEURS INTERPRETATION.
 
EACH END OF THE CENTRAL DESIGN BEING DIFFERENT WITH NO USUAL MEDALLION TO THE CENTRE.
 
THIS MILLEFLEURS DESIGN IS USUALLY SEEN ON PRAYER RUGS SO IS RARE TO SEE IT ON A RUG SUCH AS THIS EXAMPLE.
 
COLOURS ARE OF SUPERB MELLOW TONES WITH THE GROUND BEING A MID BLUE.
 
I NOTICED THE TWO PAIRS OF TRIBAL FIGURES EITHER SIDE OF THE CENTRAL DESIGN AND TO THE UPPER HALF RIGHT SIDE A PAIR OF SUBTLE ABSTRACT PEACOCKS FACING EACH OTHER ALMOST BECOMING PART OF THE OVERALL FLORAL ELEMENTS.
 
OVERALL IT IS A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF EARLIER QASHQAI WEAVING.
