A true exemplar of the distinctive Jajim style, its bold structure and vibrant palette make it an exceptional collector’s piece in the Rug & Kilim collection.

On the Design:

Specifically a Bidjar Jajim from the Kurdistan province, this tribal flatweave carries the bold, definitive aesthetic of the Jajim technique.

Keen eyes will particularly note the striae—finely woven, contiguous stripes that run horizontally across the field, which is the defining characteristic of this weave.

This particular Jajim bursts with a joyous, tribal palette, favoring deep reds, rich golds, and sun-drenched ochres, accented by slim threads of black and creamy ivory.

The sense of movement in the design comes not from complex patterns, but from the vibrancy of the color transition across the meticulously stacked stripes.

This rhythmic progression of warm tones creates a mesmerizing, almost musical energy across the surface.

It is an exemplary Persian flatweave among Bidjar rugs of its time, its almost square size and dramatic linearity offering vast, unique design applications today.

Condition:

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