Description
Vintage tribal rug from the Zagros Mountains of Southwest Persia. These rugs are handwoven near Shiraz and Abadeh.
The carpet displays a flower boteh motif with a repeating pattern. Bold red, green and orange! Cheerful carpet!
Color abrash in the reds. The weaver uses different colored dye batches to paint in wool.
Excellent — almost mint condition. Pristine and ready to use. Heavy and solid.
Woven from 100% natural wool and cotton. A traditional Shirazi – Qashqai tribal rug. As these were formerly nomadic people who raise sheep, they use their own locally produced natural wool.
Last photo with Morgan silver dollar displays the back of the rug.
The exact size is 7 ft. 8 in. by 4 ft.
The Qashqai are a confederation of 5 distinct tribal groups who banded together in a political alliance in the 19th century.
Another confederation — the Khamseh — formed in the 19th century as a counterbalance to the Qashqai. The rugs of all of these tribes are quite similar in many respects.
Shipping is $43 within the continental U.S. Fairly bulky and heavy rug for its size. Shipping with FedEx ground.
