This vintage Qashqai Persian woollen rug is a vivid and expressive example of tribal weaving, distinguished by its bold use of colour and free-form symbolic motifs. Hand-knotted by the nomadic Qashqai people, the rug features a distinctive two-panel vertical layout, with each half displaying a richly layered patchwork of stylised tribal elements.

The design is non-repetitive and organic, incorporating a lively mix of geometric medallions, hooked diamonds, serrated leaves, rosettes, and totemic figures such as birds, animals, and abstract symbols. The visual storytelling is dynamic, reflecting both tradition and personal expression. The left panel sits on a deep red ground while the right balances it with a saturated navy base, creating a striking visual contrast.

The colour palette includes rich shades of crimson, indigo, ivory, terracotta, moss green, and touches of pale blue and yellow, all created using natural dyes. The irregular spacing and varying scale of motifs give the piece a spontaneous, animated rhythm that is deeply characteristic of Qashqai artistry.

Crafted from high-quality handspun wool with a dense and resilient pile, the rug combines decorative strength with cultural depth. Its narrow, elongated shape makes it ideal for hallways, stair landings, or as a wall piece, adding warmth, history, and bold tribal charm to any space.
