Rug EMB-22245

Measures: 5’7 x 8’10

This Qashgai rug has rich heritage and intricate design characteristic of this nomadic tribe from southwestern Iran. The rug features a dense, dark blue field adorned with a myriad of vibrant, detailed motifs, including animals, floral elements, and tribal symbols, each rendered in a kaleidoscope of colors such as red, orange, yellow, and blue.

The design is symmetrical and balanced, centered around a diamond-shaped medallion that helps to organize the complex array of patterns into a cohesive whole. The wide border, which frames the central field, is equally elaborate, featuring a series of smaller geometric and botanical motifs that complement the central theme.

Hand-knotted from wool, this rug is not only a visual masterpiece but also a durable piece capable of withstanding decades of use. The natural dyes used contribute to the vividness of its colors, which have aged beautifully, giving the rug a slightly muted yet still striking appearance. This rug would serve as a stunning focal point in any room, adding warmth, color, and a story of cultural heritage and artisan skill.
