An unusually designed vintage Qashqai rug. The design is composed of multiple squares with a plain empty block of colour, where most follow a diagonal colour arrangement except for the blue, where the weaver has broken the symmetry. The background of the rug, behind the squares is very detailed and with a lot of pattern. A very interesting little rug!
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 90×47 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1970s
Turkic-speaking pastoral nomadic tribal groups began entering central and southern Iran during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.The Qashqai, as a large tribal unit, dates back at least to the early eighteenth century, when some Turkish(Turki)-speaking tribal groups in the region existed under the name Qashqai.
Qashqai kilims are best known for their boldness and and freedom in the way the pattern is drawn. An aesthetically pleasing geometry, the fineness of their wool and their clear, strong colours combine to ensure their reputation as superlative examples.
