Antique Qashqa'i- Shekarlu Rug, Fars province, South-West ...
Item Ref
BM790
This rug is truly fantastic. Not only is it amazing, it is in wonderful condition with complete brocaded skirts and braided warp-ends. The rugs of the Shekarlu sub-tribe are relatively rare and this one is no exception with its brick-red field (blue fields are more common) and more unusual borders than most. Made by the Qashqa'i-Shekarlu tribe around 1850 in Fars Province, south-west Persia.

Just magnificent!
A truly beautiful 19th century kilim with a fabulous array of vegetable colours, made by Qashqa'i nomads in Fars Province, south-west Persia. I love the simplicity of the pattern and the vegetable dyes that all gel together such as the beautiful golden yellow, the sky-blue, pink-red and deep green. The bold 'laleh abassi' border in white wool, frames the central field. This magnificent kilim is in excellent condition with no repairs whatsoever. This kilim is one of the very best of type.

Pair of Antique Qashqa'i 'Masnads', Kashkuli Taifeh, ...
Item Ref
BM/Masnads
Just in from Iran and from the family of a late Kashkuli Khan, this rare pair of 'masnads' ( seating rugs), are finely knotted with the 'moharamat' pattern of tiny, stylised botehs. Made during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, these masnads are complete around the outside, with corded tassels symbolising good luck. The beautiful natural colours in shades of red, turquoise, dark and light blue, golden yellow and ivory are exceptional. Look closely at the masnad on the right to see the extra vertical ivory border containing tiny '5s' - symbols of protection. This border can only be seen in one of the masnads.
Both masnads are in complete, excellent condition and are highly collectable pieces.
Sizes: 56cm x 51cm (1' 10" x 1' 8") each.

Qashqa'i Tribes, South-West Persia
Item Ref
BM521
A rare and quite unique Qashqa'i rug in the style of the designs used by Baluch nomads in the Ferdows region of south-eastern Persia. The rug, of course, is undoubtedly Qashqa'i and I would hazard a guess that it was made by the Shekarlu tribe within that confederacy. It is in very good condition but with some minor wear in places. It was made circa 1880, with stunning, saturated vegetable colour throughout.

BM701
This beautiful 19th century Qashqa'i-Kashkuli rug was acquired recently from an old English country house. It's a beautiful piece with evenly low pile but with several holes and poor old re-weaves throughout which will require about £500 spent on it. I have had the rug professionally washed and the price reflects its current state. The wonderful old natural colours are stunning.

BM/PH
Small Pushtis (mats) made by the Qashqa'i are uncommon and this charming little pushti has a myriad of '8-pointed' stars throughout the central field, disappearing under the borders and into infinity. The '8-pointed' star symbolises protection and in Persian, is referred to as 'gezel geichi'.
This little pushti is in good overall condition albeit the pile is evenly low, and was made circa 1900.

Charming and archaic! The ivory border packed with stylised quadrupeds - possibly males, females and young surrounds a tile-pattern field. Made during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, possibly by a young girl learning her trade, this small bread sofreh would make a stunning wall-hanging displaying true tribal woven art.

BM410
This charming little Qashqa'i rug is in excellent condition. I estimate this rug to be a fairly early type - possibly around 1860-1870 period. The colours are all vegetable and the rug contains some interesting images - a stylised woman in the left-middle field; stylised birds in the field and in the top-left spandrel and another stylised figure in the top left blue field.
A fine and very collectable rug of the Qashqa'i tribes.

Antique Qashqa'i Rug, Fars Province, South West ...
Item Ref
BM730
This is one of the oldest Qashqa'i rugs I've seen. I would take a good guess that it dates to the first half 19th century - a rare find these days! Although in poor condition with wear and some old, poor re-weaves and re-woven ends, the rug has a wonderful archaic look to it that pre-dates the more 'commonly known' late 19th century Qashqa'i rugs. From the weave structure, I feel that it might have been made by the Bolvardi sub-tribe of the Qashqa'i Confederacy. Ignoring condition issues, this is a rare and highly collectable example of early Qashqa'i work and would make a beautiful wall-hanging.
