A vintage Qashqai kilim featuring a deep red field set with four large medallions. The remaining space of the main field is filled with smaller geometric motifs, creating a rich and balanced composition.
The multiple, elaborately designed borders are finely woven and well proportioned. This kilim was crafted with finely spun wool, giving it both durability and a refined texture.
There is one small stain on the kilim; please refer to the photographs for details.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 216×136 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1980s
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.
