Story

Wild Sugar Dance Thingโ€” mega tribal rug acting as a dance floor for a funky group of tribal motifs! A terrific example from one of the most collectible tribal rug types.

This belle is in mint condition with ravishing, radiant vegetable dyes. I love antique tribal rugs with that dramatic sense of flow and dynamism.

The Shekarlu are a high ranking clan of the Qashqai tribe are named after sugar (shekar), an exotic substance in medieval times. Their name means โ€œsugar peopleโ€ which suggests they had prestigious access to this rare substance. The sweetness has certainly inspired their rugs!

Perfect condition

Jโ€™ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prรฉparation de lโ€™exposition ยซ Lโ€™Empire des roses, chefs-dโ€™ล“uvre de lโ€™art persan du 19รจme siรจcle ยป qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et ร  laquelle il a participรฉ par le prรชt de tapis exceptionnels. Jโ€™avais alors รฉtรฉ impressionnรฉe par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquรฉ le dรฉbut dโ€™une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musรฉe du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes sโ€™enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains nโ€™ont pas leur รฉquivalent dans les musรฉes occidentaux. Ce que jโ€™apprรฉcie chez Hadi ? Cโ€™est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et lโ€™engouement quโ€™il a pour son mรฉtier !
