This attractive vintage Qashqai Shiraki kilim from the tribes of South Iran is a striking example of tribal weaving with strong cultural roots. Originally used as tent entrances, Shiraki kilims were functional yet highly decorative items, reflecting the identity and artistry of the weavers.
The kilim features a small all-over lozenge design set against a warm tribal field. It is framed by a bold cream geometric border, adding definition and symmetry to the piece. At each end, rows of V-shaped motifs enhance the visual rhythm and structure, anchoring the design beautifully.
What truly sets this kilim apart is its multicoloured pompom fringes—a rare and joyful detail that adds a playful finish while showcasing the weaver’s creativity. The kilim was woven in two panels, then hand-stitched together, a typical construction method for Shiraki kilims. The result is a highly collectable textile that tells a story of nomadic life and craftsmanship.
Whether used as a wall hanging, decorative entrance panel, or accent textile, this piece brings heritage, colour, and personality into any space.
