Rare Collectible Antique Tribal Persian Qashqai Hallway Runner Rug 45998

Antique Persian Gashgai Rug, Origin: Persia, Circa: Late 19th Century – Superbly composed and richly colored, this exemplary Gashgai / Qashqai Persian rug showcases a towering series of stacked lozenges decorated with symbolic devices and angular turtle-like guhls that are rendered in alternating colors. Crisp white latch hooks with contrasting outlines highlight the graphic series of formal lozenges that ascend across the field. Deeply serrated inner borders and ornate floral borders decorated with reciprocating vine scrolls rendered in aurum yellow and glaucous blue accentuate the pleasantly formal and exquisitely colored composition. Beautifully drawn floral sprays with superbly detailed outlines adorn the sumptuous midnight blue field on this antique rug providing a brief respite from the intricate symbols featured in the field and the lavish floral motifs that decorate the formal borders.
