Rare Semi-Antique Qashqai Kilim in Navy Blue and Ivory
A rare semi-antique Qashqai kilim featuring an unusual and striking navy blue colour palette. Its bold design plays with dramatic contrasts between deep navy blue areas and the natural, undyed ivory wool, creating an interplay of light and dark.
The composition is centred around three oversized medallions. The combination of rich colour, natural wool and traditional Qashqai craftsmanship makes it a truly eye-catching piece.
There are some minor stains on the undyed ivory wool areas, consistent with the character of a semi-antique textile.
If you are looking to make a statement in your living room, this exceptional Qashqai kilim is the right choice!

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.
