Shahsavan Kilim 1472

This early 1900s Persian Shahsavan Kilim is a rare and beautifully preserved textile, handwoven in a wide-band pattern that echoes the aesthetic of larger Native American Navajo rugs. Crafted over a century ago by the nomadic Shahsavan tribes of Northwest Persia, this flat-weave Kilim showcases a refined sense of design and a rich palette of naturally aged earth tones.

The alternating bands of black, brick red, ivory, gray, and pale green create a rhythmic visual movement, lending warmth and character to both modern and traditional interiors. Over time, the natural dyes have mellowed into a nuanced spectrum of hues, resulting in a soft patina that enhances the Kilim's timeless appeal.

Ideal as a wall hanging, accent piece, or floor covering, this Shahsavan Kilim offers a unique fusion of tribal Persian craftsmanship and Southwestern color sensibility.
