About the Item

A strikingly visual shawl composed of alternating rows of horizontal stripes in undyed dark wool and insect dyed fuchsia red silk. The differing widths of each stripe imparts this textile with a very contemporary look. Shawls of this type are extremely rare and were possibly woven as part of the dowry. Very little is known about the culture who wove them.

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. What makes this example rather unique is the richness of the individual colors, obtained from natural dyes, as well the generous width of the vertical stripes. 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...
