Fantastic and extraordinary vintage tribal rug from the Zagros Mountains of Southwest Persia. These rugs are handwoven near the city of Shiraz and ancient city of Persepolis.
Primary images consist of multiple endearing birds and flowers.
The exact size is 7 ft. 6 in. by 5 ft. 3 in. Very thick and heavy for its size.
Overall condition is excellent with very little signs of wear. Some dye color pickups on the border around the orange. Shown in photos.
The overall layout of the birds and floral imagery is fabulous. Very upbeat and cheerful rug.
Woven from 100% natural wool — including the warp and weft, which is typical for Qashqai tribal pieces. As these were nomadic people who raise sheep. They use their own locally produced natural wool.
Abrash is variegation in dye colors that allows the weaver to paint in wool.

The Qashqai are a confederation of 5 distinct tribal groups who banded together in a political alliance in the 19th century.
Woven from 100% natural wool — including the warp and weft, which is typical for Qashqai tribal pieces. As these were nomadic people who raised sheep, not farmers who grew cotton, they used their own locally produced natural wool. That tradition generally continues.
