Qashqai Tribal Rug | 3'3" x 4'6" | c. 1950s
Details
A kaleidoscope of hand-knotted heritage, this vintage Qashqai tribal rug boasts a deeply saturated palette of garnet red, indigo, violet, and ochre—anchored by a stepped diamond medallion flanked by twin boteh motifs. The intricate vine work blossoms with stylized florals across an inky ground, framed in a rare angular border. Plush underfoot with a crisp wool sheen, this piece reads like a story woven in code—symmetry, symbolism, and soul stitched into every knot.
