Antique Qashqai Kilim Runner 384x115cm

This stunning antique Qashqai kilim runner is a standout example of traditional Persian weaving, renowned for its vibrant color palette, fine craftsmanship, and tribal artistry. The bold square motifs on a crisp white background offer a fresh and lively appearance, beautifully framed by a triple border that adds depth and balance to the design.

What truly sets this runner apart is the finely woven jijim finish at both ends—a hallmark of superior Qashqai kilim weaving. While both kilim and jijim are flatwoven styles, jijim incorporates a distinctive raised texture and intricate threading that enriches the visual and tactile appeal of the piece. This technique is rarely found in modern productions, making it a highly collectible and rare feature.

Woven using premium handspun wool and natural plant-based dyes, the rug boasts a soft sheen and color vibrancy that has gracefully matured over time. The use of locally sourced materials not only reflects the sustainability of Qashqai textile traditions but also adds layers of authenticity and cultural value.

Ideal as a hallway runner or a statement piece in any room, this kilim introduces warmth, character, and historic charm into the home. It is a living testament to the Qashqai tribe’s weaving heritage and a brilliant example of artisan excellence.
