Introducing a vintage Qashqai kilim from Iran, featuring a unique and naive design. The wide corridor kilim is composed of wide horizontal bands of varying widths, each showcasing oversized motifs such as lozenges, diamonds, geometric shapes, and striking birds. The birds, possibly inspired by partridges, are particularly fascinating, with their large scale and realistic weaving that beautifully captures their beaks, legs, and feathers.
If you’re looking for a rug that will spark conversation, this is the perfect choice!
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 289×105 cms
