On the Design:

This vintage Persian kilim is a testament to the passionate dedication of the weaver, where seemingly simple lines hold ancient, complex meaning.

The design is defined by a rhythmic array of fine vertical stripes, woven in a deep, rich palette of brick red, burnished orange, and dusky rose, anchored by shades of charcoal and burgundy.

The piece rewards close examination, revealing that the narrow stripes are not just color blocks but continuous columns of small, symbolic geometry.

Central to this intricacy is the S-Hook motif, a time-honored tribal pattern meant to represent the very tools and time dedicated to the weaver's art.

This subtle, personal element sets the kilim apart: the longer one looks, the more the movement of color and the small, repeating symbols come into focus, transforming the rug from a textile into an unbelievably personal art form imbued with the weaver's spirit and passion.

Condition:

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