Antique Minimalist Jajim Flat-Woven Rug with Vertical Polychrome Stripes
Located in Milan, IT
A graphic tribal Kilim composed of two joined panels each containing an array of polychrome vertical stripes in a variety of natural colors. The result is a wool flat-weave with a mirror image pattern, the central compartment being a twice as wide open field.

Furthermore, the quality of the individual dyes, which include a highly saturated saffron yellow and a clear coral red, are indicative of an early vintage. The piece is in pristine condition. The resulting visual effect is highly abstract and reminiscent more of Western contemporary art...
