The Qashqai Vintage Lion Rug is a distinctive Persian tribal Gabbeh, handwoven by skilled artisans from the Qashqai tribe in Fars Province, Iran. Measuring 2.15 by 1.35 metres, this medium-sized rug features an abstract lion motif at its centre, set against a deep red background adorned with traditional tribal symbols and patterns.
Crafted from pure wool on a wool foundation, the rug showcases natural colour variations known as 'Abrash'. These subtle tonal shifts occur due to the use of organic vegetable dyes and different batches of wool, adding depth and character to the piece. The borders are highlighted with stylised floral designs, complementing the central animal motif and enhancing the rug's vintage aesthetic.
This collectible Gabbeh is an excellent example of sustainable craftsmanship, reflecting centuries-old weaving traditions of the Qashqai nomads. Its durable wool construction and natural dyes make it a practical and eco-friendly choice for those seeking authentic Persian tribal art. The rug is in perfect condition, ready to add warmth and cultural richness to any living space.
