On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will particularly appreciate what a unique find an open field rugs are in any provenance, let alone classic kilims like this piece which normally favor far more geometry and stripes.

In this piece, a field of salmon red within a geometric gold and black bordercreates a particularly delicious warmth through its simple-yet-rich presence; exemplary of more minimalist traditional kilims and quite versatile in such tasks as layering under furniture or defining seating areas.

These pieces exemplify the nomadic sophistication characteristic of Bidjar tribal workshops that developed the distinctive geometric vocabulary that bridges Persian and tribal design traditions through centuries of cultural synthesis.

Condition:

This vintage Bidjar kilim further enjoys good condition for their age and lineage. See less
