Gashghai Kashkuli Iran Rug 72 X 70 Cm

Iranian rug from the Fars region (southwest Iran), wool, cotton warp and weft, circa 1950. Very good condition.

A lot of attention has been paid to the making of this Kashkuli. A central beige and blue medallion, rich in patterns (bouquets of flowers, cypresses) stands out against a red background. On either side, two polychrome columns, topped with horse heads, refer to the ancient sculptures and bas-reliefs of Persepolis. A 'herati' border frames the field of the rug.

The Gashghai confederation includes different tribes. Some examples: the Kashkulis Bozorgs (the large ones), the Kashkulis Kucheks (the small ones), the Shishbolukis (six districts), the Amalehs or Yalamehs (workers, servants of the Khan).
