FAQs

Qashqai Shiraz rugs originated from nomadic tribes in southwestern Persia, woven primarily in the Fars province near the city of Shiraz. These textiles feature geometric medallions, repetitive motifs such as the boteh or teardrop pattern, and mineral-dyed colour palettes.

Traditionally, Qashqai carpets are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and the foundation. Artisans employed symmetric or asymmetric knots with natural plant- and insect-based dyes to create reds, blues, terracottas, and cream hues.

Authentic early 20th-century pieces display flexible all-wool foundations, subtle design asymmetry indicative of tribal weaving, and natural abrash colour variations in the pile. The presence of traditional motifs, such as stylized birds or geometric boteh shapes, helps establish regional origin.

A tribal rug serves as an anchoring element in living rooms, dining areas, or studies, balancing neutral minimalist decor or enhancing eclectic spaces. Pairing terracotta and navy tones with natural timber furniture, leather upholstery, and muted walls creates visual contrast.

To preserve a hand-knotted wool rug, vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to protect the pile. Rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear, blot liquid spills immediately with a clean cloth, and use professional rug cleaning services when required.
