On the Design:

This beautiful kilim runner is a celebration of both artisanal craftsmanship and the bold artistic vision of weavers of the Shahsavan tribe. Featuring a bold striped design, it presents a lively mix of earthy tones— bright red, salmon pink, soft blue, warm beige-brown, and creamy ivory—woven together in a rhythm that feels both spontaneous and balanced. Each stripe carries subtle abrash, which give the rug depth and a uniquely organic character. From the subtle irregularities in the weave to the softened patina that only age can bestow, this rug carries with it the charm of decades past, making it not only a decorative object but also a tactile piece of history. This piece exemplifies the nomadic sophistication characteristic of Shahsevan tribal workshops from the Ardabil region, where Azerbaijani-speaking Turkic groups developed the distinctive geometric vocabulary that bridges Persian and Caucasian design traditions through centuries of cultural synthesis.

Condition:
