Decorative Hand Knotted Persian Qashqai Rug Circa 1930 - 1950

Discover the rich heritage of the Qashqai tribe with this stunning handwoven rug, showcasing a quintessential design reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of Iran's last migrating tribe.
This masterpiece features a classic format, with a central medallion echoing the intricate ¼ repeat motifs found in the four corner spandrels. Adorning the outer edges are stylised representations of trees, crops, and floating flowers, mirroring the natural surroundings that inspire the Qashqai weavers.
The main field of the rug continues these motifs, offering a glimpse into the weavers' surroundings and daily life. Intricately woven with hand-spun warps in true nomadic style, this rug captures the essence of tradition and craftsmanship.
The main guard border complements the design with stylised plant and flower motifs, maintaining harmony and balance throughout the piece. The colour palette confirms it was produced in the1930s-1950s era.
The rug is in excellent condition, with any wrinkles easily stretched out, these are present due to its folding during storage because it’s been woven in the true nomadic style on hand spun warps which confirms that despite some of the tribe being settled that this weaver still isn’t, hence its easy size which is also achievable to weave during either resting in the summer or winter camp.
Bring the rustic beauty and cultural heritage of the Qashqai tribe into your home with this exquisite handwoven rug, a true masterpiece of nomadic artistry.
