This lovely small antique Persian Qashqai tribal rug is a vibrant expression of nomadic artistry, hand-knotted in rich wool with striking geometric precision. At the heart of the rug lies a bold central diamond medallion, adorned with intricately patterned rosettes and stylised floral forms in deep reds, midnight blues, ivory, and ochre tones.
The field is alive with complex motifs and delicate latticework, creating a mosaic of small tribal emblems and symbolic figures that often reflect protection, fertility, and nature. Corners are densely filled with detailed hooked lozenges and crosshatch designs in contrasting shades of rust, indigo, and sky blue, creating a dynamic visual rhythm.
Framed by a cream-toned border of zigzags and stylised leaves, the composition feels both grounded and animated. Its compact size, rich palette, and cultural authenticity make this rug an ideal decorative accent, whether displayed on the floor or as a wall hanging.
A timeless example of traditional Persian tribal weaving, this Qashqai rug is rich in character, history, and heart.
