A beautifully handwoven antique Qashqai rug with a central tribal medallion design set against a rich terracotta field, framed by an intricate indigo blue border bursting with geometric and botanical motifs. Woven by Qashqai nomadic tribes in the Shiraz region of southern Iran, this piece is a wonderful example of the bold, expressive artistry these rugs are celebrated for.

Handwoven from high-quality wool, the rug features a beautifully balanced palette of rust, deep navy, ivory, tobacco, and warm walnut tones, all softened gently with age while retaining incredible clarity and definition. The oversized stepped medallion, angular floral motifs, and scattered tribal symbols create a graphic composition that feels both timeless and surprisingly contemporary.

What makes antique Qashqai rugs so special is their spontaneity and individuality. Every motif tells a story, woven from memory rather than a formal pattern, giving each piece a unique rhythm and character. The combination of crisp tribal geometry and naturally aged dyes makes this a versatile statement rug that sits beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors.

Handwoven from wool with a dense, durable pile, this is a rug made to be lived with and cherished for generations to come.

In excellent antique condition, no holes or tears. Professionally cleaned and ready for its next home.
