Fine South-west Persian Kilim, Circa 1900, 2.50m X 1.49m

1900 - 1920

Sold by Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs

Description

Woven by either the Qashqai or Luri tribal women of South-West Persia, this is an exceptional piece with fine wool and fine quality weaving. These tribal weavers were known for using strong colours and imagery in all their weavings and clothing, and this piece is no exception. The striking design manages to be both archaic and modern at the same time. The linked medallions with daring colours, hover over the bright saffron yellow field, and have been reduced to their minimal form. This contrasts with the colourful and detailed borders, obviously planned carefully by the artistic weaver. This lovely piece would make a great statement and would work equally well on either the floor or wall. The excellent original condition suggests that it may well have been made as a dowry piece and was only used sparingly on special occasions.
