Vintage Kashkuli Nazem Persian Rug
ABOUT THIS PIECE
Finely Handwoven by the famous Kashkuli clan of Qashqai nomads of southwestern Persia. Improvised woven as an iteration of the rare and highly desirable Nazem motif. Qashqai nomadic carpets are unique one of a kind pieces of art handwoven through a combination of improvisation and reference to folk iconography on horizontal looms. Made from sustainably sourced local handspun wool and natural dyes, Qashqai nomadic carpets often depict an aerial view abstraction of the weaver’s pastoral nomadic life, featuring many animals, people and plants and fields. Qashqai weaving techniques and more generally the weaving traditions of Fars, are registered as world intangible heritage by Unesco.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
290 × 200 CM (9'6" × 6'7"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
A 3-seater sofa along the long side with its front legs on the rug and 35 cm of rug past each arm, a coffee table on the rug. It is not deep enough for armchairs opposite as well.
A 120 × 80 cm table with 60 cm of rug beyond its sides and 85 cm past its ends, so the chairs stay on the rug when they are pulled out.
Under the lower part of a king bed with 54 cm of rug showing on each side, so your feet land on it either side of the bed.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
