Antique Persian Qashqai Rug

Size: 5′5″ x 8′6″
Origin: Qashqai, Persia (Iran)
Age: Early 20th Century
Material: Wool pile, weft, and warp — naturally dyed
Weave: Fine
Condition: Perfect
Design: Rare herati-based pattern with a unique medallion-allover hybrid

Woven by the Qashqai nomads of southern Persia in the early 20th century, this rug is a striking expression of tribal creativity and structural finesse. While rooted in the familiar language of the herati motif, the composition bends tradition: a subtle central medallion emerges from within an allover field, blurring the boundary between structured design and free-form rhythm.

Entirely crafted from hand-spun wool—pile, weft, and warp—this piece carries the unmistakable softness and warmth that only naturally dyed tribal wool can provide. The weave is fine and even, revealing the technical skill behind the visual complexity.

Its pattern is a quiet rebellion: a tribal interpretation of classical form, filtered through the lens of a weaver’s imagination. This kind of inventive approach is rare, making the rug not only beautiful but intellectually and historically intriguing.

In perfect condition, it’s an ideal piece for collectors who value individuality, and for interiors that embrace both authenticity and refined craftsmanship.
