Cheerful Vintage Kilim with Natural Wool and Bold Colors
This cheerful kilim features a lively range of flashy colors—perfect for brightening even the darkest days. The main field is woven with undyed natural wool, serving as a calm, grounding background for three slightly irregular medallions. Around these medallions, the weaver added zig-zag motifs that bring a playful sense of movement to the piece.
The kilim is framed by multiple borders, all intricately woven with remarkable attention to detail.
A beautifully crafted piece, made with skillfully spun wool and a great sense of color and balance.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 179×118 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1990s
Turkic-speaking pastoral nomadic tribal groups began entering central and southern Iran during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The Qashqai, as a large tribal unit, dates back at least to the early eighteenth century, when some Turkish(Turki)-speaking tribal groups in the region existed under the name Qashqai.
Qashqai kilims are best known for their boldness and freedom in the way the pattern is drawn. An aesthetically pleasing geometry, the fineness of their wool and their clear, strong colours combine to ensure their reputation as superlative examples.
