Vintage Qashqai Kilim – A Perfect Balance of Warm and Cool Tones
This vintage Qashqai kilim masterfully blends warm and cool colours, creating a sense of harmony throughout the piece. Its composition features wide horizontal bands, alternating between narrow chevron-patterned stripes and broader sections adorned with bold, large-scale motifs. Among these is the traditional comb motif—an ancient symbol of cleanliness and purity.
With its long, narrow format, this kilim is ideal for hallways, entryways, or as a runner alongside the bed.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 180×109 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 2000s
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.
