The Qashquli are a large sub-tribe of the Qashqai tribe of southern Persia. They were known for their distinctive rugs, and in particular, for their so-called Millefleurs design rugs. The term refers to a design composed of multiple small flowers, usually in a prayer rug format, which emerged from earlier Persian Court and Mughal designs. It is interesting that the Qashquli developed a specialisation in this design. In this handsome rug, we see the typical format with myriad small flowers on a red field flanked by two cypress trees. It is quite spectacular with many additional details making it a fascinating example, including the central vase, interesting cartouches in the niches, and very pretty borders. Its the kind of rug which constantly draws your attention. Woven with good wool and a fine weave, this rug has has survived in very good condition. Professionally cleaned.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Qashqai Rug to the 1920s.

Qashqai rugs are woven by the confederacy of nomadic and settled pastoralist tribes in the Fars province of south-west Persia, known for geometric motifs, rich madder red dyes, and symbolic representations of flora and fauna.

Authentic pieces are traditionally constructed with handspun wool piles on wool or cotton warps andwefts, utilising symmetric or asymmetric knots dyed with natural materials such as madder root and indigo.

Authentication involves examining the natural colour variation or abrage in the wool, the pliability of the foundation, irregular knot counts indicative of nomadic handcraft, and specific tribal motifs such as pole medallions and millefleurs patterns.

An antique rug can anchor modern living spaces by providing textural contrast and warmth beneath minimalist furniture, layering over neutral broadloom carpets, or serving as a focal point in transitional rooms.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, professional specialist washing when necessary, keeping the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent dye degradation, and using a breathable underlay.
