Object Description
Handwoven Shahsavan Style Kilim
2.82 x 1.94 m
The Shahsavan people, indigenous to Northern Iran and Azerbaijan, are renowned for their weaving expertise, particularly in creating fine, durable flatweaves. Their work often features bold, graphic designs reminiscent of Caucasian carpets, with a tribal charm that has made them widely popular decorative pieces.
This contemporary handwoven piece is a modern interpretation of the sought-after Shahsavan carpets from the early 20th century. It blends the quality and creativity of tribal weaving with a Modernist aesthetic. The design features a two-tone pattern with soft ivory and denim blue tones arranged in delicate bands across the field, creating an elegant and restrained composition that exudes a relaxed simplicity.
A stylish example, combining 20th Century design elements with traditional weaving techniques and organic vegetable dyes.
