PAULA Qashqai Runner 183x98cm

Size: 183x98cm

The Qashqai are renowned for their pile carpets and other woven wool products. They are sometimes referred to as "Shiraz" because Shiraz was the major marketplace for them in the past. The wool produced in the mountains and valleys near Shiraz is exceptionally soft and beautiful and takes a deeper colour than wool from other parts of Iran.

Qashqai rugs have been said to be "probably the most famous of all Persian tribal weavings".
