Antique Qashqai Kilim 260x153cm

This rare Qashqai kilim showcases the striking and less commonly seen eye-dazzler design, a pattern known for its bold geometry and optical energy. Unlike the more frequently encountered long and narrow format, this kilim offers a noteworthy and practical size, making it a standout collector’s piece and an easy fit for various spaces.

Finely woven by the Qashqai tribes of southern Iran, this kilim demonstrates both technical precision and artistic boldness. The vivid, rhythmic motifs appear almost in motion—true to the eye-dazzler name—while the exceptional condition of the piece further enhances its value and appeal.

At both ends, the kilim is beautifully finished with very fine jijim (supplementary weft) detailing, adding textural contrast and a high level of craftsmanship. The use of natural dyes and handspun wool contributes to the vibrancy and longevity of the colours.

Whether displayed on the floor or as a wall-hung textile, this kilim brings energy, brightness, and historic tribal artistry to any interior.
