On the Design:

This distinguished vintage Persian kilim is a powerful expression of untamed tribal artistry. The long field is structured by horizontal bands bursting with high-energy geometric motifs.

Dominated by striking, nested chevrons and bold saw-tooth patterns—often interpreted as mountains or lightning—the design vibrates with dynamic movement.

The color palette is both grounded and vibrant, weaving deep chocolate and earthy taupe with flashes of dusty rose and soft cream, creating a compelling tension between earth and vitality.

The raw, almost pictorial quality of the weaving, along with the distinct, large chevrons that seem to pulse across the length, speaks directly to the creative freedom of the artisan. It is a piece that carries the spirit of nomadic confidence, serving as a dramatic, grounding path in any contemporary space.

Condition:

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