Description
This magnificent kilim was made circa 1880 by Shahsevan tribes in the Moghan region of Azerbaijan.The natural colours are truly fabulous and the kilim is in excellent overall condition with no repairs.
The field contains diagonal bands of small tree symbols, surrounded by a powerful border containing small 'birds-heads' motifs.
Note how the outer border, which depicts the 'laleh abbasi' border, appears to get smaller as the weaver either progressed towards the completion of the kilim or alternatively, she may have started with a smaller motif, then making it larger, as she may have realised it wasan't powerful enough? I leave this to your imagination!
Size: 3.66m x 1.96m (12' 0" x 6' 5").
Viewing by appointment only.
