Antique Qashqai Kilim with and Unusual Green Palette
This antique Qashqai kilim follows traditional tribal patterns—but with a distinctive twist. While it retains the classic diamond medallion structure typical of Qashqai weaving, what truly sets this piece apart is the dense arrangement of small motifs that fill the main field and the striking use of natural colors, particularly the generous amount of green—an uncommon feature in most Qashqai kilims.
The weaver has skillfully explored variations on the rhomboid shape, with many motifs containing nested diamonds or enclosing eight-pointed stars.
The border features the classic laleh abasi motif, a signature of Qashqai tradition, providing a strong frame for the more experimental interior design.
There is some staining in the white cotton areas and a few small, well-executed repairs.
A standout example of creative expression within a traditional framework.
