Antique Kilim Persian Carpets 42234

Southwest Persian Kilim
(Sofreh) from the Zagros Mountain Region, mid twentieth centuryPersian tribal Kilims generally outstanding for their color and design,
and, unlike many oriental rugs, they continued to be made with
excellent dyes and authentic patterns and technique well into the
twentieth century. This one has a largely open field with parallel
zig-zag deigns, enclosed by an exquisitely detailed border-like diamond
lattice design done in weft-float embroidery like the small medallion
at the center of the open field. The palette of rich earth tones,
ivory, green, apricot, and red is beautifully integrated with the
geometric simplicity of the design.
