Antique Persian Qashqai Rug with Four-Medallion Design in Blue, Red, Brown Tones kwarugs
Tribal Qashqai Gallery rug from Persia with geometric designs in multi-colors, rug ema-7551, country of origin / type: Iran / Qashqai, circa 1910.
The Qashqai nomads are found in the Fars province in southwest Iran. They move twice a year, between the winter pasture near the Persian Gulf and the summer pasture up in the Zagros mountains where it is much cooler. Their carpets have a typical dark ground color, and the patterns are tied from memory, often consisting of a centrally placed medallion, repeated in all four corners. Qashqai carpets consist of a hexagon or diamond with four projecting hooks inside of a hooked diamond. This piece features a four-medallion design rendered in colors of red, blue, onyx, tan, and ivory.
