About Persian Pictorial Rugs

Persian Pictorial rugs are tribal and village weavings that depict figurative scenes — lions, cheetahs, birds, camels, horses, deer, and the tree of life — rather than purely geometric or floral motifs. Woven mainly by Qashqai and other southwest Persian tribal weavers, each pictorial rug tells its own visual story, drawn from nature, folklore, and daily life. The bold, saturated color and hand-knotted wool give these pieces a spirited, painterly charm. Collectors prize pictorial rugs for their individuality and the storytelling character no two examples share.
