On the Design:

This mid-century Persian Jajim kilim is a gorgeous work of bold simplicity. Woven in a timeless palette of off-white and black tones, the rug presents a series of vertically aligned stripes that alternate in width and tone. Connoisseurs will also appreciate how this Jajim-style kilim is composed of multiple narrow panels meticulously joined together—a technique typical of Qashqai tribal weavers who used portable looms. Small irregularities in form and texture are not flaws but vital signs of authenticity and evidence of a living tradition passed through generations. At once rustic and sophisticated, this rug spoke the language of minimalism long before the term was coined. It’s a textile that bridges worlds—its tribal origins giving it soul, its bold simplicity making it a natural fit for contemporary interiors.
