A richly detailed antique Kashgai rug dating to circa 1900, this piece embodies the expressive artistry of the nomadic tribes of southwest Persia. The field is densely decorated with an all-over lattice of stylised tree and boteh-like motifs, arranged in a repeating geometric framework that creates both movement and balance. Deep indigo and madder red dominate the palette, softened by areas of ivory and muted blues that reveal the natural dye variation and age.
Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has developed a beautifully softened handle and a gentle, even patina that enhances its character. The intricate border system, filled with tribal symbols and small-scale motifs, frames the composition with precision while reinforcing its lively rhythm. Both decorative and highly collectible, this Kashgai rug offers warmth, depth, and authenticity, making it well suited to both traditional and more contemporary interiors.
