This antique Persian Qashqai rug showcases the bold tribal artistry for which the Qashqai nomads of southern Iran are celebrated. The composition is anchored by a strong central diamond medallion surrounded by stylized floral and geometric motifs, each symbol woven with meaning and cultural significance.
The deep navy blue field provides a dramatic backdrop for contrasting accents of brick red, ivory, and soft gold. These naturally dyed colors create a striking yet balanced visual presence, characteristic of authentic Qashqai weaving traditions. The surrounding borders feature repeating tribal motifs that frame the design with rhythm and movement.
Hand knotted entirely from wool, including the foundation, this rug reflects the durable and tactile nature of nomadic craftsmanship. The slightly irregular charm and tight knot structure add depth, texture, and authenticity, making each piece truly one of a kind.
Perfect for entryways, intimate seating areas, or layered interiors, this antique Qashqai rug brings warmth, history, and bold character into any space while remaining timeless in its appeal.
