415. A truly splendid antique Qashqa'i Carpet

415. Provenance: Qashqa'i Confederacy of tribes, Fars Province, Southern Persia

Size: 286 x 204 cm

Age: Circa 1910

Condition: Good. Very thick pile.

Notes: Classic Qashqa'i tribal, packed with heraldic and totemistic motifs. Particularly impressive is the wonderful 'interlocking-star' main border. Lustrous, karakul wool and natural colours. A somewhat 'shaggy' but very comforting tribal piece.
