Antique Persian Shirazi Qashqai Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 4'1'' x 6'8''

Experience the charm of this exquisite antique, vintage Persian Shirazi rug, a true testament to the artistry of hand-knotted tribal weavings from the Fars region of southwestern Iran. Skilled artisans, inspired by the Qashqai tradition, craft this beautiful piece intricately on a traditional horizontal nomadic loom. Its wool-on-wool construction features luxurious, hand-spun tribal wool rich in lanolin, celebrated for its remarkable durability, radiant sheen, and delightful organic texture. Bring a piece of heritage into your home with this captivating work of art. The rug’s deep madder‑red field is anchored by a bold, stepped diamond medallion, a protective motif widely used among Qashqai and Khamseh tribes. Surrounding the medallion are hooked diamonds, serrated lozenges, and angular totemic forms, each symbolizing themes of prosperity, protection, and the nomadic way of life. This exquisite rug exemplifies the rhythmic symmetry that defines tribal pieces from the Shiraz market, skillfully showcasing carefully arranged motifs. The color palette is a captivating blend of Madder Red, Brick Red, Rust, Indigo Navy, Midnight Blue, Cream, Ivory, Walnut Brown, Chestnut Brown, Burnt Orange, and Charcoal Black. These rich, earthy tones are derived from natural dyes and undyed tribal wool, imparting a warm and timeless allure to the piece. The composition is elegantly crafted by multiple borders, including a classic Shirazi rosette border, along with guard stripes adorned with geometric blossoms and angular vinework. These borders enhance the visual stability of the design while beautifully narrating the intricate storytelling found in Fars weaving traditions. The rug’s structure, asymmetrical Persian knots, medium‑dense pile, and flexible wool foundation confirm its nomadic origin. Slight irregularities in linework and color transitions (abrash) are intentional and celebrated features of tribal craftsmanship, adding depth, authenticity, and movement to the piece. This rug is ideal for collectors, designers, and homeowners seeking a true Persian tribal artifact with cultural depth, visual strength, and enduring craftsmanship. Its size, geometry, and saturated palette make it perfect for living rooms, studies, entryways, or layered bohemian interiors.
