This piece is like a tapestry of history. An Antique Qashqai Tribal Rug, a masterpiece woven in the 19th Century by the renowned and now-extinct Qashqai tribe. This extraordinary rug is not merely a floor covering; it's a captivating work of art that transports you to a bygone era, echoing the voices of generations past.

Measuring a rare and sought-after 6x8 feet, this storied rug boasts an all-encompassing art design that weaves a narrative of tribal heritage and folk artistry. Each intricate detail, each carefully chosen color, speaks volumes about the Qashqai people's creativity and reverence for tradition. The rug's design is an ode to the tribe's cultural identity, capturing the essence of their nomadic lifestyle and profound connection to nature.

While this rug has gracefully weathered the passage of time, it bears the marks of its age with grace. Some repairs add character (please see pics), enhancing its antique allure and reminding us of the generations that have cherished it.
