Description from the seller
-- "Semi-antique & characterful rug - Exceptionally well-preserved Nomad rug with stunning colors"
-- Professionally cleaned*
-- ca. 90,000 knots per m²
-- With Certificate
*Before entering our warehouse, cleaned at a laundry specialized in hand-knotted rugs, then not used again.
This is a hand-knotted Oriental rug, made from durable, natural materials. The way it is knotted and the variety of patterns make this rug unique and emphasize its authentic and artisanal character.
Exceptionally well-preserved Nomad rug. An impressive runner full of stories, told by its imperfections. These imperfections belong to this runner: while roaming, this special piece was hand-knotted by the Qashqai nomads, around 1960.
While roaming, these tribes knotted these rugs, with each time a different combination of natural ingredients for the dye bath. This is why you see beautiful abrash, natural variations in color. After knotting, these rugs were sold in the largest nearby city, Shiraz. In this city these famous Qashqai carpets were later (re)knotted and received the name Shiraz. The original Nomad rugs of the Qashqai tribe (or Ghashgai) remain particularly popular. Just looking at this rug conjures up countless stories, fully open to personal interpretation.
Main color: Brique
Details: Each rug has a lighter and a darker side (flap). Made of 100% natural materials. Full, thick and cushioned carpet. A unique object full of stories, hand-knotted around 1960. Gorgeous runner with great colors. In unusually good condition for its age.
Signs of use: -
Condition: Very good condition
