Antique Qashqai Kilim with gabbeh like Design.
This antique Qashqai kilim features a superb design brought to life with richly saturated natural dyes, including deep indigo blue, emerald green, and mustard tones. The weaver created a lattice of diamond-shaped medallions, most left empty while a select few contain small motifs. The coloring of these diamonds follows no fixed pattern, instead arranged in a seemingly random way that nonetheless achieves a refined sense of balance and harmony. The overall impression of the field evokes the spirit of a Qashqai gabbeh.
The simplicity and spontaneity of the central field contrast beautifully with the intricate multiple borders. These borders are highly organized, symmetrical, and carefully executed, with the outer edge featuring the traditional laleh abassi design.
Finely woven with top-quality dyes and a gabbeh-like design, this kilim stands as a distinctive and valuable piece for any Qashqai collection.
Note: This piece shows some staining.
