Qashqai
There is nothing quite as good in my eyes as a good old tribal piece like this. It has an all wool foundation and quite a loose weave. The colours are sublime and the wool soft and silky. The allover design is mesmerising and as often happens with these designs it is eclipsed by the borders on all sides giving the impression that the design continues to infinity in all directions
