3'9 x 5'6 Hand-Knotted Persian Qashqai Area Rug

Item Details

This hand-knotted Persian Qashqai rug is a distinguished example of the nomadic weaving traditions of the Fars province. The composition features a classic vertical alignment of three hooked diamond medallions, characteristic of the Heibatlu sub-tribe, set against a saturated indigo-black field. The rug is distinguished by its meticulous construction, including the signature Qashqai ‘barber-pole’ multicolored selvedge and red-dyed wool weft threads. The field is densely populated with spontaneous tribal motifs, including stylized birds and geometric rosettes, rendered in a palette of madder red, ivory, and forest green. Woven entirely on a wool foundation, the piece possesses a soft, flexible handle and exhibits the sophisticated ‘abrash’ color striations typical of high-quality vegetable-dyed yarns.
