FINE QASHQAI - 251cm x 111cm (8-3ft x 3-8ft)

A beautiful Persian Qashqai rug, a extremely good example of this style, soft natural dyes and extremely high quality wool. 

The Qashqai nomads who make these rugs are found in the Fars province in the south-west of Iran and they live in the provinces of Fars, Khuzestan and Southern Isfahan but mostly in the surroundings of Shiraz. They move twice a year, between the winter pasture near the Persian Gulf and the summer pasture up in the Zagros mountains.

The Qashqai carpets are woven on horizontal looms and the weaver sits during the weaving process on the half made part of the carpet. Made using hand spun wool and natural dyes.
