This vintage 5x10 runner rug is a mid-century Qashqai tribal rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1950-1960.On the Design: This vintage Qashgai runner rug features a sophisticated three-medallion vertical design, each diamond form articulated through precise geometric subdivision. The primary medallions feature stepped perimeters with internal octagonal cores, each containing cruciform motifs that create radial symmetry within angular frameworks. Subsidiary hexagonal medallions positioned between major elements establish rhythmic intervals while maintaining proportional hierarchy. The field's deep black ground provides chromatic density against which ivory rosette motifs achieve maximum optical impact. The rug's geometric vocabulary speaks fluently to modernist sensibilities while maintaining cultural authenticity that elevates any interior beyond mere trendiness. In luxury residential environments, this piece anchors sophisticated color palettes, its madder accents harmonizing with cognac leather, burnished bronze, and natural stone surfaces. Condition: This mid-century Qashqai runner rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor.
