A hand-woven kilim in the Qashqai manner, made in 100% hand-spun wool. A large stepped diamond medallion fills the coral-red field, worked as a lattice of small compartments each holding a cross or star in navy, cream, sky blue, green, yellow and red — no two neighbouring compartments coloured alike.
A cornflower blue border carries bold hooked devices, framed by a broad sage green band with a yellow and red zigzag running through it. This is slit-tapestry kilim rather than soumak: the pattern is woven into the cloth itself, so the surface is smooth and the rug is fully reversible. A one-of-a-kind piece.
