A newly woven Qashqai kilim made from undyed sheep’s wool. The natural variations in the wool create subtle shifts in tone, known as abrash, which add depth and character to the piece.
Its soft, neutral palette makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of interiors and for those looking for a natural, understated textile.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 206×153 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: New
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.
