This antique Persian Qashqai rug dates from circa 1900 and displays a tribal style handwoven in wool. The piece presents a navy blue and red colour palette, complete with cream, white, and multi-coloured accents throughout the complex field. The design incorporates three prominent central diamond medallions against the patterned field, surrounded by multiple geometric and floral borders interspersed with small figurative motifs and hooked latch-hook details. Moderate even wear is visible across the surface, alongside minor border repairs and secure fringes and selvedges. The rug measures 254 cm high by 141 cm wide and 1 cm deep. It functions well as a floor covering in living spaces, studies, or hallways within an English country house interior.

FAQs

Qashqai rugs are woven by the nomadic Qashqai tribes of southwestern Iran, primarily in the Fars province. These textiles reflect a centuries-old tradition of hand-knotting using tribal motifs, geometric shapes, and vibrant natural dyes inspired by the surrounding landscape.

Traditional Qashqai carpets are crafted entirely from hand-spun wool, utilizing wool for both the pile and the warp and weft foundation. They are hand-knotted using symmetrical or asymmetrical knots, resulting in a flexible, durable weave with high knot density.

Authentic pieces display characteristic design elements such as central diamond-shaped medallions, hooked geometric figures, and small animal or plant motifs scattered across the field. A soft wool foundation, slight irregularities in weave symmetry, and rich natural dye variations further indicate authenticity.

A Persian tribal rug serves as a focal point to anchor seating areas, contrast minimalist modern furniture, or add warmth to timber and stone floor finishes. Designers frequently use them in eclectic, traditional, or contemporary spaces to introduce saturated colour and geometric pattern.

Regular care includes light vacuuming using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush to prevent pile damage. Rotating the rug periodically ensures even wear, while professional hand-washing is recommended for deep cleaning and dirt removal.
