a superb antique Qashqai kilim showcasing a rich palette of natural colors. The background is dyed in what Persian weavers once called "copper" colour—a warm terracotta shade achieved with natural dyes. Upon this ground, classic Qashqai motifs are arranged in an unusually distinctive layout, giving the piece a rare character. The borders deserve special mention: a striking combination of deep indigo blue and mustard yellow. White areas are primarily undyed wool, with some cotton highlights. Also note the use of eight point stars in the border. Remarkably, aside from a small repair on the border, the kilim has survived in mint condition. Even the fringes remain intact and original, a testament to the care and appreciation it received from its first owner through to its more recent custodians.
