Description

This is one of the finest and most incredible Qashqa'i rugs I've come across in my over 40 years of handling many of the very best. This beautiful rug was probably made for a Khan or tribal chief, having complete silk-wefts throughout and in amazing condition for its age. It was made by an exemplary weaver of the Kashkuli 'tayefeh' or sub-tribe of the Qashqa'i Confederacy circa 1880. It comprises an ivory-ground with an overall design of the 'herati' pattern - two stylised fish opposing each other on either side of a water-lily - a symbol of happiness.

A magnificent and highly collectible rug.

Size: 2.10m x 1.32m (6' 11" x 4' 4").

FAQs

Antique Qashqai rugs are characterised by their geometric patterns, often featuring diamond-shaped lattices, stylised flora and fauna motifs, and rich natural dyes produced by nomadic tribes in south-west Persia.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using handspun wool for both the pile and the foundation, often featuring wool or cotton warps and wefts dyed with natural vegetable colorants.

Authentic pieces exhibit irregular knotting densities, natural abrash variations in colour, wool warp fringes integrated into the structure, and traditional tribal motifs unique to specific sub-tribes like the Kashkuli.

An antique tribal rug adds warmth and texture to contemporary spaces, serving as a focal point on hardwood floors or layered over neutral sisal flooring to ground minimalist or eclectic furniture.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when needed, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight to protect natural dyes.
