Very unusual piece of silk Jajim from North West Persia. Firstly, silk Jajim is quite a rarity, and when you do find them they tend to be plain stripes. This panel, made up of two pieces, has the stripes decorated with small objects from daily life including many rows of animals. Extremely fine and with a beautiful surface. Professionally stretched and mounted, ready to hang on your wall.

2'0" x 2'9"

This Persian tribal textile art is a nineteenth-century silk jajim panel made of two joined pieces professionally stretched and mounted for wall hanging. The flatweave construction displays vertical stripes in red, blue, cream, and yellow hues filled with intricate geometric patterns and stylized animal figures representing daily life objects. The surface shows fine detailing with distinct rows of small motifs and signs of professional mounting hardware along the top wooden support. Measuring 84 cm high by 59 cm wide, the rectangular textile provides a vibrant maximalist statement for narrow wall spaces in a living room, hallway, or study. Interior decorators place such pieces as wall art to add ethnic warmth, colour, and texture to plain interior walls, complementing both traditional and contemporary room schemes effectively.

FAQs

A jajim is a traditional handwoven flatweave textile originating from Persian and Caucasian nomadic weaving traditions, constructed from narrow woven strips stitched together to create a larger panel.

Jajims are traditionally hand-spun from silk or fine wool using a warp-faced weave, featuring complementary warp float patterning to produce precise geometric and animal motifs along narrow vertical bands.

Authentic 19th-century examples display natural plant-based dyes, hand-stitched seams joining narrow loom widths, fine silk threads with irregular hand-spun texture, and traditional regional motifs.

Mounted textile panels function as framed artwork, providing tactile depth and historical color when mounted above sideboards, within gallery walls, or along hallway corridors.

Silk textiles should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent UV fading, maintained in a humidity-controlled environment, and cleaned exclusively through non-invasive conservation methods by specialists.
