This antique kilim from the Qashqai tribes of Iran is a beautiful example of intuitive weaving and artistic expression. Woven with a blend of dyed and undyed wool, its primary design features flowing horizontal stripes — but rather than rigid, parallel lines, the weaver introduced soft curves and undulating bands, creating a sense of rhythm, spontaneity, and movement. To break the symmetry, a pair of chevron-like motifs were thoughtfully added. These areas are also where the weaver chose to introduce brighter, more saturated colors, offering a striking contrast to the otherwise earthy, neutral tones of the stripes. One end of the kilim still retains its original hand-plaited fringe. There is one visible repair (please refer to the photos).
