South Persia

19th ct.

A rare Qashqai rug with an unusual pattern. The three romboide medallions are very close to the kilim style ornamentation of the tribe. The large amount of stylized animals and flowers instead are typical for the South Persian tribes (orror vacui). The piece has very brilliant and luminous colors that are more typical for the Qashqai than the Khamseh tribe. Very interesting collector’s piece.
