Shahsavan kilims are flatwoven rugs produced by the Shahsavan nomadic confederation residing in the northwestern regions of Persia, primarily Azerbaijan and Moghan, known for their distinctive horizontal banded patterns and supplementary weft-wrapping techniques.

These historical textiles are traditionally constructed using hand-spun sheeps wool for both the warp and weft foundations, often dyed using natural organic colorants such as madder root, indigo, and weld.

Authenticity is determined by examining the irregularity of hand-spun wool, the presence of natural dye variations, specific structural characteristics like slit-weave or supplementary weft wrapping, and age-appropriate wear consistent with late 19th-century production.

Such flatweave rugs provide rich geometric texture and can be used to ground minimalist modern spaces, placed on hardwood floors, or hung as functional wall art to protect the textile from heavy foot traffic.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and professional periodic cleaning by a specialist in antique oriental rugs.
