A midnight-blue field carries this hand-knotted rug, climbed by a vertical chain of concentric diamond medallions in green, magenta, gold, madder and ivory — the polychrome signature of the Kashkuli, the finest weavers among the Qashqai tribes. The dark ground between and around the medallions is alive with botehs, eight-pointed stars, blossoms and little tribal charms, every space filled in the old nomadic manner. A band of striped kilim finishes each end, the mark of a true tribal flatwoven foundation.
It is hand-knotted in Afghanistan by master weavers working in the older Caucasian Shirvan tradition, with a fine, even knot count, a low clipped pile and flat-woven kilim ends. The wool is hand-spun and coloured with natural dyes, which give the indigo and madder their depth and the gentle, light-catching variation that machine-made rugs can never reproduce. A madder-red border of flowering vines, framed by ivory guard stripes, gathers the whole piece together.
Densely woven and built to last for generations, this is a collector-grade piece — equally at home as the centrepiece of a formal living or dining room or as an heirloom investment. As a hand-made rug, it is genuinely one of a kind.

Care instructions
- Vacuum regularly on low suction without a rotating brush.
- Rotate the rug occasionally so it wears and fades evenly.
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth, working from the outside in, and do not rub.
- Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the colour.
- Use a professional rug cleaner for any deep clean.
- Light shedding is normal with new wool and settles within the first few months.
This rug carries the work of the Kashkuli, regarded as the finest weavers of the Qashqai tribal confederation of south-west Persia, famous for fitting many colours into a tightly drawn tribal field. A column of concentric diamond medallions climbs a midnight-blue ground in green, magenta, gold, madder and ivory, surrounded by botehs, stars, blossoms and small tribal charms. Each end is finished with a band of striped kilim, the flatwoven signature of a nomadic loom. Knotted entirely by hand in Afghanistan from hand-spun wool and natural dyes, no two motifs are exactly alike and the colours shift softly across the field — the fingerprint of a single weaver rather than a machine.
