5'3x6'8 Persian-Style Qashqai Shiraz Design Rug | Antique 1900s Hand-Knotted Wool | Rust Field, Bird & Tree Motifs

About this rug

Hand-knotted around 1900, this rug is a genuine Persian-style Qashqai Shiraz tribal piece: a rust-red field rises between stepped navy cross-panels top and bottom, centered on a small diamond rosette medallion, while stylized birds, animals, and flowering plants are scattered throughout the field — the pictorial, nature-filled vocabulary that defines Qashqai nomadic weaving from Iran's Fars region, rewoven here by Afghan hands. A dense floral and geometric border in navy and ivory frames the piece.

Soft, well-worn wool pile confirms its genuine antique age. At 5'3" x 6'8", it's a striking, one-of-a-kind piece for a living room or bedroom, and a real collector's find.
