Antique Flat Weave Tribal Stripped Pattern Persian Mazandaran Kilim Rug 47345

Antique Persian Mazandaran Kilim, Origin: Persia, Circa: Early 20th Century – An optical delight and tantalizing example of abstraction and minimalism, this definitive antique Persian flat woven Mazandaran kilim rug embodies the recent concept of less is more. This provincial antique Persian rug is a complete embodiment of the minimalist aesthetic, although it was created long before the first definitive modern art movements in the West. Undulating zebra-stripe lines produce a mesmerizing op-art effect that’s enhanced by the abrupt transition to the stormy black and blue center panel, which provides an extraordinarily powerful visual effect through color, contrast and line-based forms. Chromatic and achromatic features are juxtaposed expertly with the touch of a modern master. Together, the simplistic stripes, understated composition and sparing color palette form a superb minimalist composition deserving a place of honor in any modern interior or contemporary art collection.
