Antique Persian Kilim with Classic Tribal Geometric Design in Red and Beige 12778

Handmade in flat-woven wool originating from Persia circa 1900-1910, this antique Persian Kilim has a uniquely powerful, cultured presence for a small-size square rug of its nature, attributed in no small part to the rich red and beige colors and the striking geometric tribal patterns. Of special note is the aforementioned small footprint of the piece, a gift size rug in 2’5 x 2’5 lending to its collectibility and versatile design applicability. The play of this Persian Kilim’s rich and eccentric colors with a subtle high-low texture offers it an alluring sense of depth and dimensional beauty seldom seen among the most sought-after tribal Kilims of the period. The all over geometric pattern—namely preferring ram’s horn and ‘s’ hook motifs widely believed to connote symbolic strength and craftsmanship—reads with a distinction that gives this tribal rug a personality suitable to many different design possibilities—ideal for small areas or as an addition to the entryway of a den or library.
