Description

Shahsavan Jajims from Azerbaijan in North-West Persia were usually made to tie up and store items in the tent or home. Their simple domestic function belied the superb workmanship that was employed to weave them and their delightful aesthetics. This piece is a great example. Woven with fine handspun wool and edible natural dyes in narrow horizontal stripes, the format is familiar. However, there is an additional element which separates this jajim from others. The numerous supplementary geometric motifs embroidered within the stripes are charming, and give the piece another dimension. It is a very clever device which is rarely seen and brings the whole composition to life. This is a beautiful example of Persian textile art, which is both very decorative and collectible. Despite its domestic function, it has survived in remarkable condition, even retaining its original selvages, perhaps an indication of how it has been cherished through the generations.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Persian Shahsavan Jajim to the 1900s.

FAQs

A Shahsavan jajim is a traditional flatweave textile produced by the nomadic Shahsavan confederation of north-west Persia and the southern Caucasus, typically characterised by vibrant striped patterns constructed from narrow woven panels sewn together.

Jajims are traditionally woven on narrow horizontal ground looms using hand-spun sheeps wool, sometimes combined with cotton or goat hair, featuring supplementary warp-faced or floating-weft techniques to create intricate geometric stripes.

Authentic antique jajims can be identified by the presence of natural dyes showing subtleabrash (colour variation), hand-spun wool with organic irregularities, traditional narrow panel construction, and authentic wear consistent with age.

An antique jajim can be utilised as a colourful floor covering in low-traffic areas, draped over furniture, or mounted on a wall as a textile art piece to introduce texture, warmth, and global heritage into contemporary spaces.

Proper preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fade, and using a breathable rug underlay.
