This flat-woven kilim originates from the Shirvan area of the Caucasus region. Kilims are hand-loomed textiles with a flat, pileless surface, creating a relatively two-dimensional appearance. Their fundamental structure consists of a plain weave, achieved by interlacing warp and weft threads on a loom.
This exquisite antique kilim is a prime example of the finest weaving traditions of the Shirvan region. Its intricate design, rich with nomadic symbols, harmonizes beautifully with the superb vegetable dyes, resulting in a stunning and well-balanced composition.
