Qashqai
rugs from southwestern Iran have an ancient tradition. This tradition
has been revitalized in recent years by the Zollanvari rug weaving
concern. Wonderful handspun wool dyed in glorious natural shades
are given to weavers, and they are given full artistic expression
in their weaving. At Araby Rug we carry Maine's premier selection
of Zollanvari Qashqai and gabbeh rugs. These are truly modern works
of art. Please note that the lustrous wools make photographing
colors of these pieces challenging; they are best appreciated "in
the wool."

This
contemporary rug represents a high level of modern Persian carpet design
and weaving. Starting with handspun wool and natural dyes, the weaver
has created a rug with a modern feel yet rooted in the old tradition
of Gabbeh folk rugs. Further, the weaver has used an ultra-fine Qashqai
weave to achieve an extraordinary combination of texture and beauty.
To fully appreciate the artistry of this piece, visit us at Araby Rug.

A
modern rug, this Qashqai stands squarely in the design tradition of
these ancient carpets. Handspun wool and natural dyes and a plethora
of animal figures and pre-Islamic motifs make this a supremely interesting
weaving. This rug can be enjoyed today, and become a treasured heirloom
tomorrow.
