On the Design:

This charismatic kilim demonstrates exceptional mastery through its sophisticated slit-weave construction—a particularly exemplary find within the classic kilim tradition where few examples achieve this quality of execution and subtle chromatic variation within otherwise humble yet rich color palettes.

The design employs triple-medallion format where diamond formations descend in vertical progression across the burgundy red field, each element rendered with the precise geometric articulation that distinguishes superior flat-weave production.

The medallions showcase sophisticated internal complexity—stepped perimeters house intricate geometric vocabularies rendered in navy blue and beige against the saturated grounds.

The slit-weave technique achieves remarkable pattern clarity where color boundaries maintain crisp definition despite the technical constraints of this challenging method. The rich brown borders provide chromatic warmth through systematic geometric patterning while navy blue and beige accents create sophisticated tonal relationships throughout.

The scale and superior condition make it ideal for architectural passages or as wall-mounted textile art where its geometric sophistication and chromatic subtlety can be celebrated within sophisticated residential contexts honoring authentic Persian flat-weave heritage.
Condition:

This vintage Persian kilim further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage, with some mild wear. See less
