The Qashqa'i nomads of Fars in southern Persia are widely regarded as the most skilful and imaginative weavers of kelims, the flat-woven rugs of dramatic geometric design which are so widely admired and collected today. This is a particularly lovely and superbly crafted specimen of the classification, employing ornaments in both field and the border stripes which are unique to the decorative tradition of Qashqa'i kelims, and with the palette of exquisitely soft, harmonious colours that has contributed so significantly to the immense prestige of the true Qashqa'i works created in this famous technique. Special Item.
