Wool on a cotton base
Many nomadic rugs reflect the rhythm of daily life, shaped by fleeting emotions and humble realities. But this Qashghai piece stands apart. Woven by a young woman nearly a century ago, entirely from memory, as is often the way of nomadic weavers, it pulses with an unmistakable feeling of joy.
There’s something in its exuberant colours and lively composition that hints at more than routine. It feels celebratory. Perhaps she was anticipating a wedding, the birth of a child, or the reunion of lovers. We can’t know, but we can feel it. Every knot radiates happiness, as though her spirit reached out through time to share that joy.
Made by the Turkic Qashghai tribes of the Fars region, this rug is a pure expression of emotion woven into form. It holds within it not just a design, but inherited motifs, memories, and a fleeting moment of bliss, preserved forever in wool.
