Antique Saveh Kilim 281x136cm

This rare and beautifully woven Saveh kilim is a testament to the exceptional quality and artistry that emerges from even the lesser-known weaving regions of Iran. While the city of Saveh and its surrounding villages are not major kilim production centres, the pieces that do originate from there are often outstanding in both design and craftsmanship—and this example is no exception.

The kilim features a dazzling all-over lozenge design, bold and rhythmic, creating visual energy that draws the eye and enlivens any space. The field is framed by a soft cream border, which not only softens the dynamic central pattern but also elevates the overall composition with elegance and balance.

Woven using traditional flatweave techniques and naturally dyed wool, this piece is lightweight yet durable, and easy to use in various interior settings—from rustic and eclectic to contemporary and minimalist.

Kilims like this are often underrated, yet they represent a sophisticated blend of utility, tradition, and decorative appeal. This piece, in particular, stands out as an engaging and collectible work of woven art.
