Antique Persian Medallion Qashqaie Rug 50490

Antique Persian Qashqaie Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Early 20th Century– This amazing Qashqai rug is truly a feat of Persian design. Deep blues and tawny oranges serve as the backdrop for an intricate display of fine detail – look closely and you’ll see hunters, birds, and other animals among the small geometric motifs, a nod to the landscapes of the nomadic Qashqai people. The intricate patterns around the border are repeated in larger scale within the central medallion, and the careful interplay between the geometric and the organic gives this rug a fascinating dimension.
