A semi-antique Qashqai rug woven in the 1950s in southwestern Iran. The design features three main medallions: two dark blue ones and a white one at the center, all surrounded by a field of round flowers on their stems. These flowers follow the shape of the medallions, creating sinuous, snake-like patterns. The abundance of flowers in the field forms multiple circular motifs, evoking a sense of perpetual spring. If you want to bring a touch of everlasting spring into your home, this rug is the perfect choice!
The wool is soft and shiny, and all the dyes used are natural.
