Southwest Persian Antique Kilim rug, Zagros Mountain region, mid twentieth century
A series of concentric borders comprises the design of this stunning tribal Kilim for the Zagros Mountain region of Persia. The outer barber pole border is dne in kilim tapestry technique like the various other colored areas. But all the other details are done in a meticulous weft-float embroidery technique reminiscent of fine jewelry. This technical precision nicely complements the extraordinary sense of color. |
