• Lot Description:
  A Qashqai rug, southern Iran, late 19th century
  203 x 197 cm
• Notes:
  The historically-powerful confederacy of nomads known as the Qashqai have produced some of the most collectible weavings to come on the western market in the past fifty years. Based in Fars province in southern Iran, both the settled members of the tribe and their still-nomadic confederates market their weavings through the ancient city of Shiraz. Qashqai weavings such as this example reveal the tribe's Turkic origins through the repeating hooked medallions and very stylised tree motifs, woven in a colour palette of lively blues, madder red, ivory and pistachio green absorbed from local Iranian traditions.
