Over 100 years old.
Stunning Antique Qashgai Tribal Rug in a rare larger size. Possibly made for a Khan of the tribe at a time of affiliations with the Khamseh confederation due to the new anti-nomad central government.

Condition fantastic for its age, even low pile throughout, and still with its flat-weave end panels.
