"Kilim Shahsavan - Persia. Circa 1880. 480 X 180 Cm"
Impressive Shahsavan kilim from Persia. The piece is signed (see photos). Woven wool on wool in the traditional way. The weave is extremely fine and refined, the piece is supple. The plant shades are very fresh, the indigo blues are dense and saturated. It is a marvel with striking contrasts, particularly with its large ram's horn patterns in white. This type of dimensions is extremely rare in old kilims, which leads me to think that this kilim was probably ordered by its first owner who undoubtedly belonged to high society... Circa 1880 In very good general condition Dim: 480 x 180 cm Laurent Beauty of Kilims
