Qashqai Rugs
The Qashqai rug is a type of tribal, village rug that is woven by the Qashqai tribe in southwestern Persia. The Qashqai tribe is known for its nomadic lifestyle and rich cultural heritage, and their rugs are highly regarded for their unique designs and high quality craftsmanship.
Qashqai rugs are typically made from wool, which is sourced from the sheep and goats that the tribe raises. The wool is hand-spun and dyed using natural dyes, which gives the rugs their rich and vibrant colors.
The designs of Qashqai rugs are often inspired by the natural world and the tribal culture of the Qashqai people. These rugs feature intricate geometric patterns and bold colors, which are often arranged in a central medallion surrounded by repeating motifs.
One of the distinguishing features of Qashqai rugs is their high knot density, which gives the rugs a thick and durable pile. The weaving process is done by hand on a horizontal loom, and each rug can take several months to complete.
Qashqai rugs are highly prized by collectors and interior designers for their unique designs and exceptional quality. They are often used as statement pieces in homes and offices, and can add a touch of warmth and authenticity to any space.
A well-crafted Qashqai rug is a true work of art, and can be passed down through generations as a treasured family heirloom. With their timeless designs and exceptional quality, Qashqai rugs are a testament to the enduring cultural heritage of the Qashqai people.
