Handmade Qashqai Tribal Wool Area Rug (5’10” x 7’9”)

Description

Qashqai Tribal wool rugs are hand-knotted by small tribal communities in Northern Afghanistan. These unique pieces of art exude a distinct primitive charm as they are crafted using hand-spun wool. The designs of tribal carpets vary greatly depending on the skill and expertise of the weavers within each particular region. Each carpet possesses its own individuality as it is created based on the weaver’s immediate inspiration, seasonal influences, and nomadic location at that time. The diverse array of small tribes contributes to an extensive collection of unique designs for these exceptional pieces. Traditional symbols such as trees, animals, and various geometric motifs commonly find their way into these remarkable works of woven art. Their vibrant colors and intricate motifs make tribal rugs versatile and suitable for various home decor styles.

Tribal rugs are crafted using age-old weaving methods, ensuring their durability and longevity. These exquisite rugs are dyed with natural pigments sourced from vegetables and roots. The dying process involves subjecting the wool fibers to high temperatures in ovens, resulting in colors that do not fade over time, allowing the rug to retain its beauty indefinitely. Owning one of these exceptional rugs would not only add beauty to your home decor but also provide a glimpse into Afghan tribal culture, preserving its rich heritage.
