GB01-01-03-26 Persian Qashqai 262cm x 170cm
The palate of colours down the side of the field, which even as I've photographed it this morning I've noticed the triple row. Why is this so exciting, because it shows the skill and movement created by the weaver. The field has 4 large crazy goat like animals flanking the 5 medallions in the field. These are then surrounded by almost phoenix looking birds and other traditional stylised stick like birds and flowers. Its clean colours, wool warps and wefts all tell me this was woven by a nomadic Qashqai weaver, as opposed to one of the settled fractions of the tribe. So yes this rug is exciting, a great size at 262cm x 170cm and no I could not walk away and let another dealer snatch up this gem! Like anything unique, hesitate and its gone!
