South Persian kilim, ochre ground

Price on request

226 × 155 cm · 7′5″ × 5′1″

An unusually warm colour statement: saffron-ochre ground, a single bold hooked motif in aubergine, and nothing else. South Persian weavers reserve this economy for pieces woven on commission rather than for the bazaar.

The kind of kilim that reads as modern art while remaining entirely traditional in technique.

Each piece is one of one, acquired personally on your behalf. Online acquisitions open with the release of our inaugural collection; enquiries are welcomed now. Fully insured delivery within the United Kingdom and Europe.
