ABOUT QASHQAI RUGS.

 

The Persian Qashqai rug is a type of hand-woven rug that originates from the Qashqai tribe in Iran. Qashqai rugs are known for their intricate designs and vibrant colors, which often feature geometric shapes and floral motifs.

 

The Qashqai tribe is a nomadic tribe that traditionally raises sheep and goats and weaves rugs to use as bedding and tent coverings. Qashqai rugs are usually made from wool and feature a tight, dense weave that makes them durable and long-lasting.

 

One of the distinguishing features of Qashqai rugs is their use of natural dyes, which gives the colors a unique richness and depth. Qashqai weavers often use a variety of plants and minerals to create dyes, including madder root, indigo, pomegranate peel, and walnut husks.

 

Qashqai rugs come in a variety of sizes, from small prayer rugs to large room-size carpets. They are highly valued by collectors and are considered to be some of the finest examples of Persian rug weaving.

 

There are several types of Qashqai rugs, each with its own unique design and characteristics. Some of the most common types of Qashqai rugs include:

 

Bibibaff: These rugs are characterized by their bold geometric designs, which often feature diamond and hexagonal shapes.

 

Shiraz: Named after the city of Shiraz in Iran, these rugs are known for their bold colors and intricate designs, which often feature floral and animal motifs.

 

Afshar: Afshar rugs are named after the Afshar tribe, which is a neighboring tribe to the Qashqai. They are known for their complex geometric designs and use of bright colors.

 

Amaleh: Amaleh rugs are typically smaller in size and feature a repeating diamond or hexagonal pattern. They are known for their fine weave and intricate details.

 

Sofreh: Sofreh rugs are small, flat-weave rugs that are often used as tablecloths or wall hangings. They feature a variety of designs and colors, and are highly prized by collectors.

 

Overall, Qashqai rugs are highly prized for their intricate designs, vibrant colors, and high quality craftsmanship.
