Vintage Qashqai Kilim with Undyed Wool Background
This vintage Qashqai kilim features a natural, undyed white wool background that sets a clean and elegant tone. The weaver created a remarkably neat and orderly composition, dividing the surface into symmetrical square compartments. Through a thoughtful play of contrasts—dark and light tones, densely patterned sections and open, empty spaces—she crafted a highly distinctive and unusual piece.
It’s in mint condition, including the original plaited fringes.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 184×130 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1980
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.
