Vintage Persian Qashqai Tribal Rug, Persia, Circa Date: 1920’s – Here is a dynamic, energetic vintage rug – a Qashqai tribal piece, characterized by a minimalist design and vibrant colors. Boasting a straightforward, understated layout, this rug features a pair of horizontal bars, one nearer the top of the piece, the other nearer the bottom. These bars are characterized by a white outline and a subtle pattern that runs throughout. Outside of each of these bars runs a simple pair of bands, red and blue. Within is more red and blue, which interact here in an exciting manner, a large swath of red occupying almost the entire space, bounded on either side by vertical bands of blue, serrated, almost biting into the red. This creates a great deal of horizontal energy, which is emphasized by the weave of the rug. The vibrancy of the colors throughout emphasize the dynamic nature of the composition, which is an exciting exercise in modern design, while also being true to its tribal influences and traditions.
