About the Item

76392 Vintage Persian Mazandaran Kilim Rug, 09'05 x 15'06. Woven under the shifting light of the Caspian skies, this handwoven wool vintage Persian Mazandaran kilim unfurls like a meditation in rhythm and tone—a minimalist symphony of woven earth. Its foundation is composed of narrow vertical panels in sunbaked shades of wheat, barley, and soft ochre, each tone subtly varying like tilled fields at dusk. Framed by broad bands of warm walnut brown, the outer borders offer a grounding weight to the composition, giving the eye both freedom and boundary. It is a textile that reads like a landscape remembered—sparse yet complex, orderly yet alive with natural cadence. What sets this kilim apart is the unexpected appearance of horizontal striping across select central panels—bands of alternating widths and placements that suggest a coded language, as if the weaver was transcribing the seasonal winds or marking time in woolen staves. These stripes, subtle and tonal, create moments of syncopation against the otherwise vertical structure, interrupting the grid with poetic tension. The asymmetry feels intentional, like the shifting rhythm of footfalls on a mountain path—measured, organic, never mechanical. This interplay of line and silence evokes the sensibility of mid-century abstraction, while remaining rooted in agrarian heritage. Mazandaran kilims are born not of flourish but of restraint, and this piece is no exception. Each panel was woven independently on small village looms, then hand-stitched with reverence into a unified field. The visible seams are embraced as part of the design’s architecture, marking human presence in the warp and weft. The wool—handspun and naturally dyed—yields a quiet abrash, the soft tonal shifts that give breath to the surface. This kilim likely served both utilitarian and ceremonial functions: a dowry textile, a floor covering, a seasonal layer in the wooden homes of northern Iran’s forested plateaus. In the contemporary interior, this kilim becomes more than decor—it becomes a study in spatial poetry. Its color palette of straw, clay, and chestnut complements both raw materials and refined modernism. The irregular banding and quiet linear play lend it kinship with the works of Agnes Martin or Sean Scully—artists who understood that repetition is never truly the same. This Mazandaran kilim does not call for attention through grandeur; rather, it invites intimacy through stillness. It is a woven manuscript of silence and touch—an homage to slowness, structure, and the humble sophistication of hand. Rendered in variegated shades of brown, camel, tan, ecru, coffee, and sand with other neutral accent colors. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 09'05 x 15'06. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
