Handwoven 1950s Vintage Persian Kilim in Black, Pink, Purple Geometric Pattern

Handwoven circa 1950-1960, this 4×12 vintage Persian kilim runner showcases an ambitious vision in design where geometry is applied skillfully for a series of well defined diamond medallions in the centre, deliciously distinguished by patterns alternating in gold, blue & pink with tints of subtle purple & pink on field & border alike. The graph exalts in dimensionality & gravity with 4 borders— each present in its own right in variegated shades and patterns. Prevailing in great condition for its age, a welcome choice for entryways, hallways and staircases yearning a bold collectible.

Connoisseurs may note the field motifs bear a subtle resemblance to the ertman gul (sometimes spelled ertmen)—a tribal motif with Turkmen lineage more often seen as a two-sided piece with similar rows to this diamond mosaic pattern.
