Qashqai Tribal Mehrab,

This 4'1" × 4'5" Qashqai Tribal Mehrab rug is a distinctive Persian hand-knotted piece with a warm golden-yellow prayer-niche style design. The central mehrab shape gives the rug a strong architectural feeling, while the surrounding blue field and dark border create depth and contrast. Accents of red, navy, green, coral, soft blue, and ivory bring life to the floral vines and tribal motifs, making the piece feel rich, expressive, and full of character.

The design is especially meaningful because the mehrab form is inspired by the prayer niche found in Islamic architecture, symbolizing direction, spirituality, and a sacred space. In this rug, the bright golden center feels warm and radiant, almost like light shining through the design. The floral patterns represent beauty, growth, and paradise, while the handmade tribal details give the rug a personal and authentic charm. Its square size makes it ideal for a small sitting area, entryway, bedside, meditation space, wall display, or decorative accent.

Qashqai rugs originate from the Qashqai tribes of southwestern Persia, especially the Fars region near Shiraz. Traditionally woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic artisans, Qashqai rugs are known for their strong wool, bold colors, symbolic motifs, and deeply personal handmade character. Their designs often reflect nature, faith, protection, family heritage, and the daily life of the weavers.

Hand-knotted from wool, this rug offers natural warmth, durability, and softness underfoot. More than simply a decorative rug, this Qashqai Tribal Mehrab carries Persian nomadic heritage, spiritual symbolism, and timeless handmade beauty into the home.
