On the Design:

This vintage Persian kilim emerges from Rug & Kilim's curated collection as an exemplary study in geometric complexity and sophisticated color relationships. The design is defined by alternating horizontal bands of pure color and richly patterned bands, creating a compelling visual rhythm.

The patterns include narrow rows of intricate geometric motifs—such as small rosettes, diamond chains, and zig-zags—set against broader bands of deep, saturated color (burgundy, terracotta, and muted blue/gray).

This variation between dense pattern and pure color creates a sophisticated texture. The organic edge variations, slightly irregular and hand-drawn, authenticate the piece's tribal origins where geometric precision yields to the human touch.

Perfect for hallways or defining long seating areas, this piece transforms any space through its confident geometric vocabulary and authentic cultural presence—a rare example of nomadic artistry achieving timeless contemporary relevance.

This piece exemplifies the nomadic sophistication characteristic of tribal workshops that developed the distinctive geometric vocabulary that bridges Persian and Caucasian design traditions through centuries of cultural synthesis.
