Vintage Mid-Century Karabagh Lion Pictorial Red Green & Black Wool Floral Kilim 23323

Hand woven in wool between 1950-1960, this vintage mid-century Persian Kilim enjoys a sought-after pictorial design hailing from the Karabagh (Karabakh) region, renowned for the selection of patterns that have emerged from this area since antiquity. This particular depiction of lions in repose amongst nature marries a uniquely clean, meticulous approach a geometric animal motif with a very European sense of floral imagery, and the almost juxtaposition of the look of shading and dimensionality in the pink and green floral motifs of the border to the greater emphasis on rich, solid red, blue, and green hues in the field offers a sense of movement complementing the very culturally dignified aesthetic offered in this item. In all the playful variations and rarities in the recent animal pictorial acquisitions our team has reviewed, this piece boasts a sharpness of graph and a  unique play of whimsy and boldness that lends such a collectible, conversational addition to a variety of areas seeking these versatile dimensions.
