Vintage Walnut Diamond Qashqai 3’4 x 6’10

C. 1930–1950 Qashqai tribal rug, handwoven in Southern Persia.

Terracotta field with triple diamond medallions in teal, gold, and ivory — a balanced geometric layout softened by age and the glow of natural dyes.

100% wool on wool foundation, entirely handspun and vegetable-dyed.

A stunning natural-dye palette typical of early to mid-20th-century Qashqai work:

    •    Field: Deep terracotta brick with undertones of rust and copper

    •    Medallions: Teal, mint, ivory, and gold ochre

    •    Borders: Indigo ground with coral, saffron, and turquoise blossoms

    •    Highlights: Soft yellow (likely weld-dyed), faded to a rich straw tone

    •    Dye Integrity: 100% natural — note the color variation and abrash especially in the blue areas, which confirms small-batch vegetable dyeing
