In most cases, the rugs are named after the city they are woven in. They are dominated by floral patterns symbolising the gardens of paradise, and nature with motifs of deer, goats, trees and other herbivorous animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eQashqai \u003c\/em\u003erugs are woven in the city of \u003cem\u003eShiraz\u003c\/em\u003e, southwestern Iran, by the \u003cem\u003eQashqai \u003c\/em\u003etribe.

These rugs often include the characteristic diamond medallion with detailed floral and geometric motifs in and around the medallion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56943867789694,"sku":null,"price":769.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9350\/1054\/files\/IMG_2598-squared.jpg?v=1771432532","url":"https:\/\/www.khorasanrugs.co.uk\/products\/old-persian-hamadan-rug-c-1975","provider":"Khorasan Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
