On the Design:

The mid-century Persian kilim is divided into vertically banded segments, each meticulously defined by a sequence of contrasting patterns and hues. The dominant color field is a saturated red, exuding warmth and vitality, while flanking panels introduce a series of bold geometric motifs in navy blue, ivory, and burnt orange. On one side, elongated lozenge-shaped diamonds stack vertically while on the other side, a sequence of repeated hooked or comb-like motifs (a pattern often interpreted as protection symbols) unfolds in rhythmic stripes—creating a sense of movement and energy while maintaining the symmetrical balance of the overall design. Connoisseurs will admire the technique, in which tribal weavers combine multiple panels into one piece with a repeat pattern. This Jajim-style flat weave is a bright, comfortable choice of rustic charm with a natural sense of movement, and vast design applications therein.

Condition:

This mid-century Persian Kilim further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. See less
