Antique Kilim, Qashqa'i Tribes, Fars Province, South-west Persia.

19th century
Description

I think this has to be one of my favourite Qashqa'i kilims of all time! Bold yet with subtle, vegetable colours throughout, it has a huge presence.

Made circa 1870-1880, no later, the kilim comprises diagonal bands of golden-yellow, rose-red, aubergine and a band woven in white cotton.

In very good condition albeit with a few minor areas of restoration, this is a fantastic kilim and has to be seen to appreciate the beauty in the colours. I love it!

Size: 3.05 x 1.46m (10' 0" x 4' 10").

Date of Manufacture

Brian MacDonald Antique Rugs & Carpets has dated this Antique Qashqai Persian Kilim to the 1870s.

Hand-spun cotton highlights: typical South-West Persian tribal weaving.

This antique Persian tribal rug originates from the Qashqa'i tribes of the Fars province in south-west Persia and dates from 1870. The handwoven wool kilim displays a slit-weave construction with a repeating geometric diamond pattern and lattice design, framed by striped fringe borders. The multicoloured wool incorporates bands of golden-yellow, rose-red, aubergine, and white cotton, presenting vegetable tones of blue, terracotta, and brown throughout. Minor areas of restoration are present, consistent with age and previous use. Measuring 305 cm high by 146 cm wide, the rectangular rug possesses a Glastonbury Boho design vibe suitable for interior floor placement in a living room, hallway, or bedroom. The flatweave textile provides a durable surface layer beneath furniture or in open walking spaces, anchoring room layouts with traditional Persian tribal character.

FAQs

Qashqai kilims are flatweave textiles created by nomadic tribes in the Fars Province of South-West Persia. They are recognized for their bold geometric patterns, vibrant natural vegetable dyes, and intricate slit-weave technique.

Authentic Persian kilims are handwoven primarily using hand-spun sheep wool for both the warp and the weft. Goat hair or cotton is occasionally incorporated for added structural strength or decorative accents.

Authentic pieces feature slight asymmetrical variations in weaving density, natural dye colour variations known as abrash, slit-weave seams between colour changes, and hand-tied warp fringes at the ends.

A geometric tribal kilim provides colour and texture to modern rooms, working effectively placed beneath coffee tables, in entrance hallways, or layered over neutral jute rugs in bohemian and contemporary schemes.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling fibres. Clean spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth and mild water solution, and engage professional rug cleaners for deep cleaning.
