Unusual Shahsavan Kilim, late 19th century
Size: 213.4 cm x 304.8 cm
Region: West Asia, Caucasus, South Caucasus, Shahsavan
Period: Late 19th century (1875)
Condition: There are a few very small reweaves. Both ends retain their original braided warp fringe. There is a minor break in this braid in the center of the lower end.
Description: This is a large, single-panel kilim. The striking palette features horizontal rows of deeply indented hexagons in light green, pale blue, and deep red. The serrated edges of these shapes excite the eye and render the overall piece with a sense of dynamic movement. A well-drawn saw tooth meander in the ivory border offers a satisfying contrapuntal component. This rug contains features found in Anatolian Karapinar kilims, but the wool and palette suggest otherwise.
