Exquisite Decorative Antique Varamin Kilim – Wide & Heavyweight Tribal Rug

This exquisite antique Varamin kilim hails from central Iran, a region highly regarded for its refined textile artistry. Though production from Varamin is relatively limited, each piece is known for its superior craftsmanship, and this kilim stands as a prime example of that enduring legacy.

The kilim is woven on a rich brown ground, a hue rarely seen in Persian kilims, which adds a level of earthy sophistication. It features a striking series of lozenges, which gradually decrease in size toward the edges, creating a sense of movement and depth. These central motifs are enclosed by a distinctive zig-zag border, offering visual contrast and a dynamic geometric frame that defines the composition.

What makes this piece especially rare and desirable is its generous width, diverging from the typical long and narrow format of Varamin kilims. This heavyweight construction gives it a satisfying presence and allows it to lay flat and secure on the floor—ideal for adding both functionality and visual charm to a living room, hallway, or bedroom.

A true statement piece, this kilim is perfect for anyone looking to enrich their home with a work of authentic Persian textile art that offers history, quality, and timeless beauty.
