Using organic hand-spun wool and natural vegetable dyes, the weaver created a striking stripe composition enriched throughout with geometric motifs — a format reminiscent of the celebrated Shahsavan kilims of Northwest Persia.

The palette of abrash blue, brick red, warm brown, saffron yellow, and ivory displays beautiful tonal variation — the natural result of hand-dyeing wool in small batches — a hallmark of genuine antique textiles and a quality that gives this kilim a warmth and depth that no synthetic-dyed textile can replicate. A century of age has only enhanced its beauty, producing a patina that anchors and enriches any interior it inhabits
