The Antique Qashqai Kilim measuring 2.86 by 1.65 metres is a fine example of traditional Persian tribal weaving. Created by the Qashqai nomads from southwestern Iran, this kilim reflects their cultural heritage through vivid geometric designs and a rich colour scheme.
Unlike piled rugs, kilims are flat-woven textiles, which makes this piece notably lightweight and versatile. Its surface showcases an energetic arrangement of diamond motifs that interlock rhythmically, framed by dark borders that provide visual balance. The ends feature striped patterns that enhance its tribal authenticity.
The colours—deep reds, bright yellows, indigos, earthy browns, and creamy whites—are all derived from natural dyes. These matured hues demonstrate the Qashqai’s close relationship with their natural environment. The kilim’s organic materials ensure it is suitable for homes with children and pets, while its durable construction supports long-lasting use.
This antique kilim can be used as a striking floor covering, a decorative wall hanging, or a unique throw for furniture. Signs of wear consistent with its age contribute to its character and charm. All vintage kilims in the collection have been professionally cleaned and repaired where necessary, preserving their quality.
Selected pieces can be viewed in the intended room so scale, colour and furniture relationships can be judged properly.
