Antique Kashgai Carpet Runner

19th century
Description

This is a really good example of a Kaskuli Kashgai carpet dating from around 1900. Kashkuli carpets were usually woven in finer wool, around the turn of the century or earlier and the quality is reflected in the design and the tightness of the weave. This carpet has a wonderful central lozenge which echoes toward the ends of the carpet. The field itself is filled with finely worked geometric motifs and also stylised floral motifs. The colour palette is particularly pleasing with chestnut brown, rich indigo, gold, ivory, dark indigo and coral all featuring in the design. A very attractive carpet, this is in excellent condition for its age with just a little wear to the ends. Unusual in size it measures 324 cms by 122 cms. This would make a fine wall hanging but looks stunning on the floor.

UK delivery is £20

FAQs

Qashqai carpets are nomadic tribal textiles crafted by the Qashqai confederation in South-Western Iran. They are characterised by intricate geometric motifs, central diamond medallions, repeated stepped borders, and saturated natural dyes, including deep reds, indigo blues, and cream accents.

Traditionally, Qashqai weavers use fine hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and the foundation (warp and weft), though some examples incorporate cotton warps. The pile is hand-knotted using asymmetrical or symmetrical knots, resulting in a dense, resilient weave with flexible handling.

Authentic pieces exhibit slight natural variations in colour known as abrash, caused by hand-dyed wool batches. They feature characteristic tribal symbols, such as stylized animals, birds, or latch-hook diamond patterns, alongside soft, lustrous wool and slight irregularities indicative of handloom weaving.

A tribal runner provides structure and visual warmth in narrow transition zones like entryways, hallways, or galley kitchens. The rich geometric patterns complement minimalist contemporary schemes as well as layered, eclectic interiors alongside dark timber or stone flooring.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting to avoid catching the hand-knotted pile or end fringes. Rotate the runner annually to ensure even wear and light exposure, use a quality non-slip rug underlay, and consult a specialist textile restorer for professional spot cleaning.
