It is woven in a Turkish-knot style, using local hand-spun wool and vegetable dyes, with an all-wool construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three connected pools or medallions in the design symbolize the threefold world in ancient Turkic belief. The tree of life motifs on either side of them are a metaphor for the continuous flow of life around the axis of this threefold world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motifs in this rug combine angular geometric forms with more curvilinear elements. They are set against a madder-red field, with accents of mustard, gold, blue, navy, and other tones, creating a distinctive colour harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe border design is formed by the repetition of an abstract dragon motif, a symbol of power and good fortune, set against a white ground. On both sides of it are narrow borders with boteh motifs. This is one of the most beautiful and long-standing border designs in Yalameh rugs. It enhances the beauty of the piece and makes the main field appear more expansive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formal, symbolic, and visual harmony of this rug turns it into a rhythmic and readable work of art. With a little time and attention, it draws in the eye and the mind, inviting appreciation for its depth, balance, and beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,8,1,0,0\"\u003eAge: Mid-20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,8,1,1,0\"\u003eOrigin: Qashqai tribe, Persia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,8,1,2,0\"\u003eMaterial: Hand-knotted wool pile on a wool foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,8,1,3,0\"\u003eDimensions: 5' 3\" x 8' 2\" (160 x 250 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,8,1,4,0\"\u003eCondition: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eExcellent for its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rug the Rock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48870618857689,"sku":"126060027","price":1980.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/1460\/8857\/files\/yalameh-qashqai-rug-5-3-x-8-2-6426519.png?v=1784330776","url":"https:\/\/rugtherock.com\/products\/qashqai-yalameh-rug-5-3-x-8-2","provider":"Rug the Rock ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
