The History & Design of Antique Persian Qashqai Rugs

Weavers of highly desired Persian tribal rugs, the Qashqai people possess a history and culture rich in both struggle and inspiration. It is the combination of these two elements which give their antique rugs their unusual sense of spontaneity and aliveness.
The Qashqai carpet continues to hold a special place in the world of oriental rugs, as it expresses a superlative level of both craftsmanship and creative inspiration.

Qashgai are nomads who moved around Persia. They are Iranian citizens. Their rugs are considered Persian. The central government and the Qashgai have often been at odds

@@khanqashqai I don't see what point you are trying to make. Iran is composed of many different ethnic groups and the Farsi (Persian) speakers are the dominant ones. Other groups like the Qashqai are in the minority and haven't always been well treated by the dominant group. However, their contributions to Iran--and the world, such as their rugs--are extraordinary.
