An exceptional 19th-century Shahsavan kilim featuring bold rows of geometric medallions with radiating hooked forms, arranged in alternating bands of rich red, deep indigo, teal green, and warm apricot. Narrow striped borders with rhythmic, eye-like motifs provide a striking contrast to the larger designs, creating a composition that is both wonderfully balanced and visually dynamic.

The confident drawing, saturated palette, and finely executed flatweave reflect the distinctive character of Shahsavan textile traditions. Particularly noteworthy is the kilim’s excellent state of preservation, with its original end finishes and fringes remarkably intact. A beautiful and increasingly uncommon example of early tribal weaving, combining graphic strength with exceptional craftsmanship.
