This Persian tribal Qashqai rug from circa 1900 is hand-knotted from soft fine wool. The piece displays three diamond medallions on a dark indigo blue field, surrounded by a madder red outer field with large floral devices in the corners, accompanied by terracotta and navy tones along with ivory and blue details. Additional elements visible include small chickens scattered throughout the pile, geometric floral borders, stylized boteh motifs, and slight even wear across the surface. The carpet measures 170 cm high, 120 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. It is suitable for normal domestic use in a hallway, living room, or study, providing a classic floor covering that complements an English Country House interior aesthetic.

FAQs

Qashqai rugs are hand-woven textiles created by nomadic tribes in South-West Persia, renowned for their dense wool piles, deep indigo and terracotta hues, and intricate geometric or medallion motifs.

These carpets are constructed using hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and the foundation, dyed using natural plant and mineral pigments to achieve deep reds, indigos, and ivories.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical hand-tied knots, slight variations in weave density due to nomadic looms, wool foundations rather than cotton, and characteristic tribal motifs such as stylized animals and terraced diamonds.

A tribal rug adds warmth and texture when paired with neutral upholstery, modern clean-lined furniture, or traditional dark wood pieces, acting as a grounded focal point in a living space or study.

Vacuum regularly without using a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear, and address spills immediately by blotting with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.
