Antique Persian Kashkay Rug Size: 3'5" x 4'8" Date: 1920s Material: Wool on wool A vibrant early 20th-century Persian Kashkay rug, showcasing the bold tribal artistry for which the nomadic weavers of southern Persia are celebrated. The design is dominated by a striking navy-blue lozenge medallion set against a rich madder-red field, creating a dramatic contrast that immediately draws the eye. The field is enlivened with an array of stylized floral motifs, rosettes, and geometric elements arranged around a central axis, reflecting the spontaneous creativity and symbolic language of Kashkay weaving. Angular serrated outlines and finely detailed borders add movement and energy to the composition while maintaining a strong sense of balance. Woven entirely of wool, the rug displays the durable construction and lustrous pile characteristic of tribal Persian carpets. Its saturated natural colors, bold geometric forms, and authentic village character make it both an attractive decorative piece and a fine example of traditional Kashkay craftsmanship. A handsome and collectible tribal rug, combining rich color, graphic design, and the enduring charm of handwoven Persian artistry.
