Qashqai, Tribal

This 3'9" × 4'7" Qashqai rug is a warm and expressive Persian hand-knotted piece with a rich red field and a beautifully framed tribal design. The open center gives the rug a calm, balanced feeling, while the surrounding panel-style border adds character, color, and visual interest. Accents of navy, camel, ivory, soft blue, rust, and dark brown create a traditional palette that feels both bold and welcoming.

The rug’s design has a storytelling quality, with each border panel carrying small symbolic motifs inspired by tribal life, nature, protection, and handmade Persian tradition. The paisley/boteh forms around the inner field add movement and elegance, while the strong red background gives the piece warmth and presence. Its compact size makes it perfect for an entryway, bedside, reading corner, office, powder room, or as a decorative accent in a layered interior.

Qashqai rugs originate from the Qashqai tribes of southwestern Persia, especially around the Fars region near Shiraz. Traditionally woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic weavers, these rugs are admired for their durable wool, expressive patterns, and deeply personal handmade character. Their designs often combine geometric forms, floral details, animals, and protective symbols, making each rug feel unique and full of heritage.

Hand-knotted from wool, this rug offers natural softness, warmth, and long-lasting durability. More than simply a small floor covering, this Qashqai rug brings Persian nomadic artistry, rich color, and timeless handmade charm into the home.
