4'4 x 7'6 Hand-Knotted Persian Qashqai Area Rug

Item Details

This antique Persian Qashqai tribal rug represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century nomadic textile art. The composition is anchored by a large, triple-stepped diamond medallion densely populated with tribal iconography and stylized zoomorphic figures. Woven entirely of hand-spun wool on a wool foundation, the rug features a rare, desaturated palette of sand, ocher, and pale mineral indigo, achieved through the natural aging of vegetable dyes. The field is a tapestry of ‘filling’ motifs—including birds and flowers—that tell the story of the weaver’s environment. With its low-profile, authentic patina and sophisticated ‘faded’ aesthetic, this carpet serves as a soulful foundational element for high-end ‘Modern Organic’ and collected interiors.

Condition

- shape distortions; dye fade; freckling; traffic wear; crushed pile; discolorations; heavily weathered, “low-pile” aesthetic; widespread, even pile wear resulting in a semi-distressed appearance where the foundation is visible; localized areas show professional re-piling or stabilization; perimeter edges and ends show natural wear and minor irregular fringe loss.
