Rare Oversized Antique Qashqai Kilim Runner 1910s 585 x 158cm (19.2′ x 5.2′)

This antique Qashqai kilim runner is an exceptional survival from the early 20th century and stands out immediately for its remarkable scale. Kilims of this size are extremely uncommon, making this piece both visually commanding and historically important. The design is bold and confident, built from strong tribal geometry arranged across the full length of the runner. Deep reds are balanced with cream and blue accents, creating contrast without excess. The colours have softened beautifully over time, giving the piece warmth, depth, and an unmistakable sense of age. Woven flat in wool, the structure is strong yet flexible, making it well suited for long hallways, wide corridors, or open spaces where it can be fully appreciated. Every element feels purposeful, from the rhythm of the pattern to the natural flow of colour. This is not a decorative afterthought. It is a statement from the past made to be seen, lived with, and admired. Ideal for collectors, period homes, or interiors that value authenticity and presence over trend.
