kurdish kilim from the region of quchan which lies between the city of Meshed and extends north to the Persian border with Turkmenistan. It is a fine old piece with dozens of exquisite narrow rows of plan weave interspersed with embroidered sections. The major border on all four sides has a band of a very different technique. Powerful but subtle and pleasing at the same time. Reference 3327. Size 220 x 148 cms., or 7ft. 3ins. x 4ft. 8ins. Euros 965.
