Rug Description

This is an antique tribal Qashqai horse cover woven in southwest Persia circa 1900-1920. This textile was used to decorate horses during tribal ceremonies or weddings. The design of the textile is composed of rows with different tribal motifs, ranging from diamonds, paisleys, “X’s”, and one row of women. The fact that this textile has a row on women at the bottom indicates it was most likely woven for wedding purposes. It was woven in two parts and joined together in the middle and uses a combination of a flatweave and pile technique. This rug is in excellent condition and has retained all of its original fringes. It has all-natural vegetable dyes and has been professionally cleaned. It is ready to be added to any tribal collection or used within any home to add a special conversation piece.

At Mollaian srl we try to do our best, giving a new life to some of antique rugs with minor problems, that may have affected by age. So, apart from what is visible on the presented photos, it should be noted that the rugs are professionally cleaned, and where necessary, the Selvages/Sides and Ends/Fringes have been secured. Upon request, we can provide a complete condition report (including any retouch performed by our restoration team), if it is not already presented down below.
