Vintage Tribal Gashgai Kilim, Country Of Origin: Persia, Circa date: 1920’s – Here is a fetching vintage rug – a tribal Gashgai piece, characterized by a soothing palette of blues, greens and ivory. This vintage Persian rug boasts a straightforward layout, with horizontal portions positioned at the topmost and bottom most areas of the rug, and a field of ivory bordered by bands of blue and green. Despite this simple, understated design, this vintage rug boasts a great deal of energy. The alternating presence of blue, green, and ivory tones throughout the piece direct the eye in every direction, both vertically and horizontally. Yet at the same time the nature of the tones of blue and green, as well as the delicate shade of ivory, communicate a quietude and serenity that plays off the dynamism of the design, creating an overall impression of balance. An appealing modern design that is also true to its tribal roots, this charming vintage Persian Qashqai kilim is a great example of an appealing style.
