Pair Of Gashghaï Kashkuli Rugs From Iran, 62 X 62 Cm / 63 X 64 Cm

Iranian rugs from the Fars region (southwest Iran), wool, cotton warp and weft, circa 1940. Very good condition. Beautifully crafted. €950 per pair.

In the center, four green birds surrounding roses reference the ancient Persian motif 'göl-e-bôlbül' (nightingale and rose). These are framed by eight ivory lozenges. A multitude of motifs—flowers, butterflies, botehs—are scattered across the rugs' patinated red field. 'Herati' or 'samovari' borders frame the field of these rugs, which were originally probably the fronts of a gorjin (pack sack).

The Gashghai confederation comprises various tribes. Some examples: Bozorg kashkulis (the large ones), Kuchek kashkulis (the small ones), Shishbolukis (six districts), Amalehs or Yalamehs (workers, servants of the Khan).
