This antique Qashqai kilim is a striking example of tribal weaving, created with rich, naturally dyed colors that have retained their depth and vibrancy over time.
The main field features a bold deep-red ground, set with three central medallions. Around them, scattered motifs are playfully arranged in a seemingly random yet harmonious composition. In contrast, the border displays a more structured design, with multiple colorful bands culminating in the traditional laleh abbasi motif.
Woven from exceptionally fine, high-quality wool, the kilim reveals the weaver’s skill in its delicate, intricate patterns. The use of premium natural dyes enhances both the beauty and the longevity of this remarkable piece.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 277×170 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1920s
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.
