Woven by the nomadic hands of the famed Qashqai tribe, this square treasure hums with a quiet, ancient rhythm. A rare shape for a tribal rug, it carries the marks of a life well-traveled, with its floppy handle and worn edges whispering of countless footsteps and stories now lost to time. This old soul is low pile, beautifully worn and on a wool foundation…just take a look at the close ups and those beautiful raw wool fringes.
A deep, moody blue field cradles a square medallion at its heart, a design pulsing with tribal symbolism. The main field teems with intricate detail, a world unto itself, where small animals seem to trek through a tapestry of stylized flowers, their presence a nod to the Qashqai’s deep bond with nature.
Earthy tones of rust red, indigo, and cream play across the wool, each hue drawn from nature’s own palette, pure vegetable dyes sinking into the fibers with vibrance.
Aged yet resilient, this rug bears the weight of tradition, its every knot a nod to the skill passed down through generations. This is a fantastic old gem, truly speaking age, history and character.
