High quality handmade semi antique Persian Ghashghai runner. Size 3.9x10.3 feet, made of all natural, vegetable dye, hand woven, pure and worsted wool pile on wool foundation. A confluence of styles and influences, Ghashghai wool carpets incorporate a variety of cultural and historic tribal design elements with a row of large medallions on an abrash navy blue background and is framed beautifully by an intricate multi layered floral border. Handwoven by a master Persian carpet weaver in Fars, Iran. The approximate year of origin: 1975-1985. The nomadic tribal weavers inhabited parts of central Asia and the Caucasus before arriving in southern Persia, moving across the region over time. As a result, their creations reflect the bold geometry of Turkmen weaving, the tendency toward striking color palettes and saturated hues inherent to Caucasian weaving, and the rich ornamentation characteristic to Persian artisans. A range of motifs inspired by the landscapes they traversed are often incorporated into these exotic antiques. The manufacturing of carpets is an important contribution to the life of the nomads. The carpets have a typical red ground color. The pattern is tied from memory and often consists of a centrally placed medallion, repeated in all four corners. Humans, four legged animals, birds, trees and flowers are popular elements."
