Description
This Mid-20th century Persian flatweave kilim features a bold and rhythmic composition defined by elongated, stepped medallions arranged in horizontal bands. Each row presents a central diamond motif framed by angular, flame-like forms, creating a strong sense of movement across the field. The repeating geometry is softened by gentle variations in tone, reflecting the expressive character of tribal weaving traditions.
The palette blends warm earth tones golden yellow, rose, camel, and cocoa brown with accents of plum, coral, sage green, and touches of turquoise near the lower register. These saturated hues are balanced by softer neutrals, giving the rug both vibrancy and harmony. The horizontal striping enhances the visual flow, while the bold medallions anchor the composition with graphic clarity.
Woven in traditional flatweave technique, this kilim combines tribal geometry with a rich, decorative color story, making it a striking statement piece for both contemporary and eclectic interiors.
