About the Item

77294 Vintage Persian Kilim Rug, 06'06 x 11'09. Persian kilim rugs originate from Iran and are known for their traditional handwoven flatweave style. They are crafted using tightly interwoven warp and weft threads, creating a smooth surface adorned with intricate geometric patterns and vibrant color schemes. In contrast to pile rugs, kilims lack raised tufts of yarn, which gives them a lightweight quality and reversibility, making them versatile for various applications. These rugs reflect a wide array of artistic traditions, showcasing diverse designs, sizes, and color palettes that often incorporate motifs rich in symbolic meanings and cultural significance. Renowned for their meticulous craftsmanship and historical importance, Persian kilim rugs are highly esteemed worldwide, prized both as decorative accents and as prized possessions that embody centuries-old weaving techniques passed down through generations. This enchanting handwoven wool vintage Persian Kilim area rug tells a tale woven with intricate symbolism and cultural richness. Its design features two vertical columns adorned with three stacked lozenges, each bursting with repeating Cengel Hook motifs and surrounded by beige bands embellished with Kuf bird motifs in alternating colors. These motifs aren't just decorative; they carry deep meanings— the Bird Kuf symbolizing happiness, joy, and love, while the Cengel hook motif signifies union and marriage. The lozenges are further adorned with protective blue comb-latter motifs, believed to ward off the evil eye, adding a layer of spiritual significance. Across its abrashed field, the rug hosts a mesmerizing array of repeating boteh motifs in alternating colors. These boteh motifs, resembling sprouting seeds, are often called the 'Seed of Life,' symbolizing the potential for growth, rebirth, and regeneration. Each motif whispers stories of renewal and the cycle of life, making the rug not just a piece of decor but a profound reflection of cultural beliefs and traditions. Encircling this narrative-rich center, a series of three borders, flanked with comb-latter stripes, frame the rug with elegance and precision, emphasizing its craftsmanship and attention to detail. Displaying this vintage Kilim rug in your home isn't just about adding beauty; it's about embracing centuries-old artistry and embracing the spirit of its creators. Each motif and color choice carries a legacy of craftsmanship and cultural significance, inviting you to explore its depths and appreciate its role as a cherished heirloom. Whether as a focal point in a living space or a treasure passed down through generations, this Persian Kilim rug offers more than aesthetics—it offers a connection to history and a celebration of enduring traditions. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 06'06 x 11'09. Date: 1940's. Mid-20th Century.
