Kilim Persian Carpets 41025

Produced by the Qashqai and Turkic-speaking tribes who inhabited southwest Persia, this kilim is an excellent example of diagonal lozenges and polygons woven entirely with right angle geometry. Using the flat-woven kilim stitch, weavers incorporate a series of steps to create diagonal lines and lozenges that intimate curves. The bright colors and stepped borders that complement the lozenge medallions complete the overall effect of this bold kilim.
