You can’t help but smile when you see this authentic Qashqai Gabbeh rug from Persia. Hand-knotted by the Qashqai tribe in the Fars region, it features a softly heathered grey field encased in a rich, crimson-red border. At the center, two stylized birds perch above a bouquet of blossoms—an endearing motif that gives the piece a sweet, folkloric charm.

The hexagonal panel in the middle seems to float within the bold crimson edges, which are further adorned with large ivory-and-brown flowers that carry the theme of nature throughout the design. Because it’s woven with hand-spun wool on a wool foundation, the rug feels both substantial and luxuriously soft underfoot.

At just under 4 by 5 feet, this rug is a perfect accent piece. Use it to bring warmth to a reading nook, add tribal flair to a home office, or tuck it beside the bed for a cozy morning landing pad. Whether you’re drawn to its charming love-bird imagery, those lush red tones, or the time-honored craftsmanship, this Qashqai Gabbeh promises to be a delightful touch of Persian tradition in any space.
