About the Item

Mid-Century Persian Kilim Rug Size: 11'0" × 14'4" (335 × 436 cm) This exceptional vintage Persian Kilim rug, dating to the mid-20th century, showcases a sophisticated minimalist aesthetic that aligns perfectly with both traditional and modern interiors. Woven in 1955, the rug is a testament to the timeless artistry and design sensibility of Persian weavers. The piece features a finely balanced composition built from alternating horizontal bands of subtly striated wool. Natural undyed fibers in warm, earthy tones—ranging from beige and fawn to taupe and soft brown—create a harmonious palette that feels both grounded and serene. The tonal variation across the rug arises from the use of hand-spun wool and vegetable dyes, which give it a soft texture and organic character. A defining element of this Kilim is its rhythmic layout: rectangular panels of darker, finely striped bands are interspersed between broader fields of uniform tone. This modular design introduces movement and quiet structure without overwhelming the space, making the rug ideal for minimalist, Scandinavian, or modern rustic interiors. The flatweave construction gives it a light, flexible quality while remaining highly durable—ideal for high-traffic living spaces, dining areas, or layered with other textiles. Each stitch reflects the precision and cultural heritage of Persian craftsmanship, yet the overall impression is timeless and restrained. Whether used as a grounding piece in a contemporary setting or as a refined accent in a more traditional space, this vintage Kilim offers understated elegance and authenticity. A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
