This elegant antique Qashqai rug, handwoven over 100 years ago, showcases a beautifully balanced composition with a distinctly refined character. While the exact origin is uncertain, the design reflects the aesthetic language of Qashqai weaving traditions, interpreted through a more restrained and sophisticated palette.
The rug features a large central motif built around a geometric medallion, rendered in soft blue tones that gently contrast against the ivory ground. Surrounding the medallion is a field of stylized floral elements, subtly arranged to create depth and movement while maintaining an overall sense of harmony and restraint.
An antique wash enhances the softness of the palette, lending the rug a light, airy quality and a gently aged patina. The interplay between the ivory field and blue design elements gives the piece a refined, almost architectural clarity—evoking the understated elegance associated with 1920s design aesthetics.
Handwoven from wool, this rug carries the authenticity and character of true antique textiles. Its smaller scale and balanced composition make it a versatile piece, ideal for layering or as a subtle focal accent.
