Tantalizing op-art stripes and creative patterns adorn this paradoxical antique Mazandaran kilim, which displays rustic roots and a modern personality.

Kilim, Persia, Early 20th Century – This superlative antique Mazandaran kilim embodies the gestalt of this beloved floor covering type, which is functional and equally artful. Cocoa brown stripes with nuanced undertones playfully dance across each segment of the impressive four-part composition. Variable width components and transformative smoke-tone pickets elevate the simple striped pattern. Transparent blocks, staggered intersections and narrowing repeats all help to blur the line between positive and negative space. The features of this classical Mazandaran kilim are a dichotomy of tradition and modernism. The  flat-weave textures, abstract patterns and minimalist tendencies of these unique creations have garnered much attention since they were introduced to Western audiences at the end of the 20th century. This unparalleled blend of modernism and primitivism makes Mazandaran kilims one of the most sought-after textiles in the world of contemporary art.
