About Qashqai Rugs

Qashqai rugs are woven by the nomadic Qashqai confederacy of southwestern Persia and represent some of the finest Persian tribal weaving. Lustrous wool, rich reds and blues, and designs built around diamond medallions and boteh motifs distinguish the style. Each hand-knotted piece carries the spontaneity and individuality of true nomadic craft. Collectors prize antique and vintage Qashqai rugs for their vibrant color, fine knotting, and the authentic story of the weavers behind them.


Each rug at First Rugs is individually sourced — no two are alike. Natural variation in color, pile, and patina is part of what gives hand-knotted rugs their lasting character and investment value.
