Beautiful antique Persian Qashgai Rug with interesting motifs. Size is 3.7 x 5.6 - perfect for entry, powder room, study, etc.  As with numerous other nomadic tribes, the Qashqai Rugs and Qashqai carpets are generally woven by women. Qashqai rugs have a wool pile, with a wool warp and weft, and are woven on a horizontal loom pegged out on the floor. The weft thread is usually distinctive in that it is usually a shade of red.  The rich color palette on this finely woven rug includes brick, brown, ivory and beige.  Rug is in good condition with low pile but exceptional color and design remain after 75+ years!  Perfectly imperfect.
