South Persian Qashgai Rug
South Persian Qashgai
South Persian Qashgai rugs are a type of handwoven carpet traditionally made by the Qashgai tribe, which is primarily located in the Fars Province of Iran. These rugs are known for their distinctive designs, rich colours, and high-quality craftsmanship.
Qashgai rugs often feature intricate geometric patterns, motifs inspired by nature (like plants and animals), and tribal symbols. Common motifs include large central medallions, repetitive patterns, and all-over designs that encapsulate traditional tribal aesthetics.
These rugs are typically vibrant, using a rich palette that often includes deep reds, blues, greens, and yellows. The colours are often derived from natural dyes sourced from plants and minerals.
Qashgai rugs are predominantly made from wool, which is both durable and resilient. The wool is usually hand-spun and dyed, contributing to the rug’s unique texture and appearance.
Some Qashgai rugs may also incorporate cotton, particularly for the warp and weft, enhancing their strength.
They are typically woven using traditional techniques on horizontal looms. The knotting technique used is often a Persian knot, which creates a dense and durable pile.
Qashgai rugs are not only functional but also carry cultural significance. They often reflect the lifestyle and traditions of the Qashgai people, serving as an important aspect of their identity.
– Rugs also play a role in social and family gatherings, being used in both domestic settings and ceremonial events.
