A vintage Qashqai kilim from Iran featuring a beautifully structured design.
The main field is divided into a grid, with the border design cleverly extended inward to create the compartments. Each section contains a single traditional Qashqai emblem, arranged in a rhythmic diagonal of alternating colours.
Woven with finely spun wool, this vintage kilim showcases the skill and precision of its makers — and still retains some of its original pom poms on two sides, adding a playful and authentic touch.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 242×161 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1970s
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.
