This 1890 Shahsevan tribal runner rug is hand-woven from wool and cotton, displaying an extra long, narrow format. The piece measures 440 cm high, 94 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. Natural dyes create a navy blue and red palette, complemented by cream and ochre tones across the field and borders. The design incorporates a central indigo panel with stylized trees, geometric latch-hook motifs, a multi-band border, and fringed ends. Minute traces of wear and one or two tiny old repairs indicate age. The item is dead straight, super clean, and tidy, presenting as a flat-woven kilim textile. In a modern interior, this long runner functions effectively in a hallway, corridor, or narrow passage to add warmth and pattern underfoot. The flat weave allows doors to open smoothly above it. Its neutral yet vibrant tribal motifs coordinate well with rustic, bohemian, or eclectic interior schemes. Regular rotation ensures even wear in high-traffic zones, while gentle vacuuming without a beater bar maintains the wool and cotton construction. Professional specialist cleaning preserves the natural dyes and traditional weave structure over time.

FAQs

A Shahsevan kilim is a flatweave textile hand-crafted by the Shahsevan nomadic tribe, historically inhabiting regions across northwestern Iran and Azerbaijan. These long, narrow runners were woven primarily for practical use inside tents and long living spaces, featuring symbolic geometric iconography.

Traditional Shahsevan flatweaves are constructed using hand-spun wool for both warp and weft yarns, sometimes incorporating cotton highlights. The fibers were historically coloured using natural vegetable dyes derived from madder root, indigo, walnut husks, and local flora.

Authentic pieces exhibit slit-weave flatweave construction, subtle natural dye variations known as abrash, and distinct tribal iconography such as diamond medallions and stylized animal forms. Inspecting the reverse side reveals clean structural weaving without artificial backing or uniform machine stitching.

Long kilim runners are frequently placed in entry hallways, long corridors, or narrow galleys to add warmth, geometric structure, and visual depth. Their flat profile makes them practical near doorways while their saturated tones bridge modern minimal and traditional interiors.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotary brush to protect the hand-spun wool fibers. Place a high-quality rug underlay beneath the runner to prevent slipping and reduce friction wear, and consult a professional rug restorer for deep cleaning.
