9'8" x 12'7" (295cm x 384cm) Iran, Northern Persia: Mid-20th Century Flat-weave (kilim): wool
$ on request Sold
An old tribal flat-weave from Northern Iran, woven in five narrow panels, originally used as a simple, utilitarian floor cover in the weaver's household. The hand-spun wool in natural ivory and brown is interspersed with colorful stripes. Despite its humble origins, the kilim has tremendous modern/minimalist appeal and great authentic charm that cannot be imitated by its contemporary lookalikes.
