Explore the World of Shiraz Qashquai Rugs
Delve into the history of the Qashquai (Kashgay), Iran's largest and most celebrated nomadic tribe, with roots tracing back to the Caucasus. In the eighteenth century, they made their home in the Fars province of southern Iran, specifically around Shiraz. Speaking a distinct Turkish dialect, their rich cultural heritage shines through in their exquisite rugs and vibrant clothing, demonstrating a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and color. Among their notable sub-tribes are the Bilverdi, Shishboluki, Darashuri, and Kashkuli.
Immerse yourself in the allure of Qashquai rugs, characterized by their all-wool construction, pronounced ribbing on the reverse side, and rich, deep colors, particularly vibrant reds. These rugs feature traditional motifs like the 'Hashing' or crab pattern and frequently showcase geometric designs with rows of medallions down the center or in the center and corners. The entire field is adorned with intricate geometric motifs, distinguishing them from rugs crafted by other tribes, such as the Khamseh and Lori.
