This kilim was handwoven by the Shahsavan during the 19th century.
A striking example of simplicity elevated to art, this antique Shahsavan kilim reveals the timeless sophistication of stripe-based design. Its alternating bands of madder red, indigo blue, golden ochre, and earthy brown create a bold yet harmonious rhythm across the surface. The restrained palette and unbroken horizontality give the piece a modernist clarity that feels as relevant today as it did over a century ago.
The kilim’s flatweave structure is durable yet lightweight, making it versatile both as a floor covering and as a wall-hung textile. Its minimalist aesthetic aligns seamlessly with contemporary interiors, while its tribal origins root it firmly in a deep cultural tradition of nomadic weaving.
