Description

A very light blanket made to cover unsightly items, more commonly made out of wool but this rare item is composed entirely from silk. Designed with simple, colourful stripes it is a surprisingly modern looking antique and a rare survivor. Silk tends to break and wear easily so is not an ideal weaving material but this one is in excellent condition- barring one small tear, see detail photo.

6'3" x 6'4" so big enough to decorate a double bed.

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Silk Jajim to the 1900s.

FAQs

A jajim is a traditional flatwoven textile originating from Iran and surrounding regions, historically used as a blanket, floor covering, or mattress cover by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes.

Jajims are typically constructed from hand-spun wool, cotton, or sometimes silk, woven on narrow horizontal looms in separate long strips that are later stitched together to create a larger sheet.

Authentic pieces feature natural dyes with subtle tonal variations, hand-spun yarns with slight irregularities, and traditional narrow-strip construction joined by hand stitching.

These pieces can be displayed as floor coverings in low-traffic areas, draped over furniture as a throw, or professionally mounted and framed as wall art to highlight their graphic patterns.

Protect antique textiles from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently with a mesh screen covering the nozzle, and avoid harsh chemical cleaning.
