Vintage Shahsavan Persian Kilim with Gray Geometric Patterns, from Rug & Kilim

This vintage 5×10 Persian Kilim is a mid-century tribal rug believed to hail from the Shahsavan tribe—handwoven in wool circa 1950-1960.

On the Design:

The field hosts sharp rows of light gray geometric patterns within a rich brown fencepost border. Keen eyes may further admire subtle green, taupe, and even off-white accents in the field as well.

Connoisseurs will admire this as an extremely collectible piece with bright hues one seldom sees among Persian flatweaves of any period. The play of these bright neutral tones and little variations lends a more subdued sense of movement and presence so modern for its time, especially in tribal rugs. It’s an exemplary choice in Shahsavan rugs with vast applications in its size and sensibility today. 

Condition:

The mid-century Persian Shahsavan Kilim further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
