A unique vintage Persian kilim featuring delicate flower vase motifs at each end of the main field.
These floral designs — more commonly seen in pile rugs than in kilims — are especially rare due to the technical challenge of weaving curved lines into flatweaves. The border is adorned with large, daisy-like flowers in vibrant, cheerful colours that contrast beautifully with the deep red background.
Tightly woven and full of character, this kilim is a striking and joyful piece — both unusual and full of charm.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 242×167 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.
