Perfection. Even though I have some higher brow silk wefted Qashqai rugs, from the loftier Persepolis and Millefleurs traditions, but this sparkly beauty occupies a special place in my heart. It is woven with love from start to finish. The ultra thin fringes complement the silk wefts running horizontally to create a super fine texture with amazingly high knot density. The dye materials are outstanding. Condition is perfect with intact end kilims and full pile. This is as good a tribal rug as you or I will ever see.
