This beautiful contemporary Qashqai kilim demonstrates the remarkable skill of tribal weavers in combining two traditional techniques within a single piece — flat weaving and knotting. The harmonious use of these techniques creates both visual richness and structural depth, making the textile particularly interesting from both artistic and technical perspectives.
The kilim is woven using hand-spun wool dyed with natural pigments derived from plants and minerals. These natural dyes give the colours a depth and warmth that mature beautifully over time.
Qashqai weavings are traditionally created without a drafted pattern. The designs emerge from memory, reflecting motifs that have been passed down through generations of tribal weavers. This spontaneous approach gives each piece its individuality and authentic character.
While deeply rooted in nomadic tradition, this kilim’s balanced composition and minimalistic aesthetic allow it to sit comfortably within modern interiors. The combination of natural materials, traditional techniques, and thoughtful design makes it a striking decorative textile capable of adding warmth, texture, and cultural depth to a contemporary living space.
Material: Hand-spun wool
Dyes: Natural dyes
Technique: Combination of flatweave and knotting
Origin: Qashqai tribes, southern Iran
