Southwest Persian Qashqai kelim dating to around 1900.
The kelim has a field design of diagonal rows mostly of eight-pointed shapes with a hooked interior. Individual tufts of wool have been distributed randomly for added decoration. A sequence of several borders with a geometrical design encloses the field, which is on a sweet, madder red ground. Stepped diamonds and zig-zag lines are the predominant design feature in the borders. The bottom and top ends are formed by three bands of two-coloured diagonals separated by straight lines.
The colours are all naturally dyed, with a very soft palette of reds, blues, greens and yellows and an undyed off-white.
Interlocking tapestry weave in wool on a woolen warp , with the warps plaited at both ends.
The kelim is in excellent condition.
