Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1890s:
Hand-spun wool foundation and fringes: traditional nomadic loom construction.
Natural dyestuffs with subtle abrash shading: mineral and plant dyes.
Low, even wear across the pile: honest foot traffic over many decades.
Geometric bird motifs and stepped medallions: typical Qashqai weaving of the period.

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 large Qashqai main carpet dates from 1890 and originates from the Fars province of south-west Persia. Made entirely of wool with a low even pile, the rectangular rug displays a dark blue and black ground decorated with three central diamond medallions, rectilinear peacock motifs, animals, and tribal symbols. Framing the central field is a Shekarlu design main border set on an ivory-coloured ground, complemented by geometric latch hooks and various multi-coloured secondary borders in red, indigo blue, magenta, and yellow. The construction includes secured even ends and sides, with visible fringing along the top edge. Measuring 308 cm high by 188 cm wide and 1 cm deep, this substantial floor covering suits large living rooms, studies, or hallways in contemporary homes. The piece provides a practical and decorative foundation for high-traffic interior spaces, bringing traditional Persian tribal artistry and a distinct Glastonbury boho design aesthetic to domestic settings.

FAQs

Qashqai rugs were traditionally woven by the nomadic Qashqai tribes originating from the Fars province in southwestern Persia. Known for their spontaneous weaver-inspired geometric, zoomorphic, and floral compositions, these carpets reflect centuries of nomadic heritage and culture.

Authentic Qashqai carpets are constructed predominantly using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation warps and wefts. The wool was historically dyed using natural plant and mineral sources, resulting in saturated colours and subtle variations known as abrash.

Authentic pieces generally feature a soft, flexible wool foundation rather than rigid cotton, along with fine symmetrical or asymmetrical hand knotting. Visual markers include tribal stylisations such as peacocks, stylized flora, multi-medallion central fields, and distinctive geometric borders such as the Shekarlu pattern.

A large tribal carpet acts as a foundational anchor on polished concrete, stone, or hardwood floor surfaces. The bold colour palette and graphic motifs complement both eclectic, bohemian aesthetics and minimalist contemporary furniture by adding textural warmth.

Vacuum the rug regularly without using a rotating brush or beater bar to avoid pulling the wool fibres. Promptly blot liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth, rotate the carpet annually to ensure uniform foot traffic wear, and seek professional hand-washing specialists for deep cleaning.
