This exquisite vintage Kashkuli rug features a finely woven design with a high knot density. It showcases the signature Herati pattern, commonly seen in Kashkuli rugs. The color palette is vibrant and lively, with shades of green and soft baby blue. The border is adorned with distinctive motifs of brightly colored flowers and palmettes. The warps are made of silk, as evident in the delicate fringes.
Due to its large size, it is likely that this carpet was not woven by nomadic Kashkuli women, but rather by semi-nomadic weavers or those settled around the Shiraz area.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool (pile and weft) and silk for the warp
Size: 305×209 cms
Origin: Kashkuli tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1960-70s
The Kashkuli tribe, a subtribe of the Qashqai, originates from the southwest region of Iran, and their carpets are recognized as some of the finest within the nomadic community.
Kashkuli carpets are renowned for their intricate designs, high-quality materials, and the exceptional skill of their weavers.
This carpet, dating from around 1970, stands out for the high knot density and the exceptional quality of the wool, both of which are essential characteristics of Kashkuli carpets.
One of the most distinctive motifs of this tribe is the “Herati” design, an urban pattern that was adapted and tribalized, becoming a key element in Kashkuli carpets.
