An Antique Qashqai Rug with Quiet Tribal Elegance
Woven approximately 100 years ago, this small Qashqai rug reflects the rich nomadic weaving traditions of southern Persia. Qashqai rugs are known for their expressive geometric patterns and strong craftsmanship, and this piece beautifully captures that heritage in a compact, versatile format.
Its intimate scale makes it perfect for entryways, bedside placement, reading corners, offices, or layered decorative settings.
Design & Composition
At the center of the rug is a large geometric medallion that anchors the composition. Surrounding stylized motifs add structure and decorative detail while preserving the strong tribal aesthetic typical of Qashqai weaving.
The simplicity of the design allows the form and craftsmanship to stand out, creating a balanced piece that feels both rustic and refined.
