Quite Scarce One Way Design Antique Qashqai Carpet - Large Rug

South West Persia - Early Qashqai carpet with a scarce one way design of I suppose a stylised tree of life running through the middle in geometric and floral motifs. Qashqai interpretation on a tree of life design. each end of the central design being different with no usual medallion to the centre. Colours are of superb mellow tones with the ground being a mid blue. I noticed the two pairs of tribal figures either side of the central design and to the upper half right side a pair of subtle abstract peacocks facing each other almost becoming part of the overall floral elements. Overall it is a stunning example of earlier qashqai weaving. All over low pile with tiny bits of wear. couple of very very small virtually undetectable repairs. rebound side cords with even fringes. Wool pile hand knotted onto wool foundations,two wefts of terracotta and lilac with undyed wool warps. Simply a mesmerising early example of it's type. Home visits arranged to try on the more expensive weavings. Bank transfers, viewings, discussions, etc all welcomed.
