Tribal and Beautiful Antique Persian Qashqai Hallway Runner Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1920 -The Qashqai are a group of nomads who have traveled throughout the mountains of southern Persia for the last three and a half centuries. This antique Persian Qashqai carpet is a beautiful example of their weaving skills.

The tribe is a strong community, and the women often help each other in their tasks.

Here, set against a background of yellow gold, a complex refined pattern of floral and interconnecting vine scroll elements unfolds, infusing the entire perimeter of the carpet with a great energy. Then the field pattern consists of a series of very narrow and precise vertical stripes, alternating in alternating colors. These are detailed with a simple and basic elements that run throughout the length of each. A fascinating example, this antique Persian Qashqai carpet is truly intriguing rug.
