FAQs

Qashqai rugs are hand-knotted tribal floor coverings produced by the nomadic Qashqai confederacy in southwestern Persia. Known for their intricate geometric patterns and rich natural dyes, these textiles date back centuries, with 19th-century examples highly prized by collectors for their cultural significance and artistry.

Authentic antique Qashqai rugs typically feature hand-spun wool piles, sometimes incorporating silk wefts or foundations, knotted tightly on a wool or cotton base. Natural vegetable dyes, such as madder root for reds and indigo for blues, are traditionally utilised to achieve their deep, enduring colours.

Authentication involves examining the knot density, irregularities in the symmetrical or asymmetrical knotting characteristic of nomadic work, and the presence of natural dyes which exhibit abrash, or subtle colour variations. Additionally, traditional motifs such as medallions, hooked diamonds, and stylized flora are key indicators of tribal origin.

An antique tribal rug serves as a foundational anchor in a room, adding texture, warmth, and historical contrast to modern minimalist or transitional schemes. Pairing it with neutral furnishings allows the complex medallion patterns and rich colour palette to act as a focal point.

Preservation requires regular, gentle vacuuming without a beater bar to protect the wool fibres and fringe, alongside professional organic washing every few years. Keeping the textile away from direct sunlight prevents fading of natural dyes, and using a quality underlay prevents friction wear.
