This very fine antique Shahsavan jijim from Northwest Iran is a superb example of tribal textile weaving at its most refined. Woven by the Shahsavan nomads, known for their exceptional flatweave techniques, this jijim displays both elegance and authenticity.
The design features harmonious horizontal rows of red, blue, yellow, and cream, creating a soft yet sophisticated rhythm. The subtle shifts in tone and patterning reflect the artisan’s eye for balance and restraint. The finely woven construction uses handspun wool dyed with natural pigments, resulting in a tactile and visually rich piece.
Despite its age, the jijim is in excellent structural condition, with a couple of old, well-executed repairs, as shown in the images. Its compact size and decorative appeal make it highly versatile—perfect for use as a wall hanging, table cover, or even a throw over furniture.
A rare and refined textile with true historical and artistic value, this Shahsavan jijim would make a prized addition to any collection of antique tribal weavings.
