This beautiful vintage Persian Qashqai rug reflects the bold tribal artistry of the nomadic Qashqai weavers. The rug features a striking crimson field dominated by a large stepped diamond medallion, a classic motif often seen in traditional tribal weaving. Surrounding the medallion are many small symbolic elements: stylised flowers, geometric shapes, and tribal emblems, each woven with careful detail and cultural meaning.

The warm red ground contrasts beautifully with the soft, earthy tones of brown, ivory, and muted grey that fill the corners and borders. Within the design, you can notice charming tribal figures and animal motifs, including birds and small animal forms, which are characteristic storytelling elements in Qashqai rugs. These motifs reflect themes of nature, protection, and the weavers\' nomadic lifestyle.

The rug is framed by multiple geometric borders decorated with repeating tribal patterns and stylised plant forms that balance the bold central design. Hand-knotted from wool and traditionally dyed, the piece shows the slightly irregular patterning and lively character that make tribal rugs so unique and authentic.

Overall, this Qashqai rug is a vibrant example of Persian tribal craftsmanship, rich in colour, symbolism, and history, making it a beautiful decorative piece that adds warmth and cultural depth to any interior.

Authentic vintage and antique Persian rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
