The distribution of colours in the empty compartments has produced a scheme of diagonal bands. The grid is decorated with small stepped polygons.

Khalaj Kilim
Add to wishlist
- 40
- North West Persia, Azerbaijan
- 280 x 160 cm
- Late 19th century
- 5,250
A large, brown-ground kilim woven by the Khalaj tribes. Ever since their resettlement by Karim Khan Zand in 1790, they have lived in a region fifty kilometres south of Saveh accordingly named Khalajistan. The dense repeat consists of large, interlocked, serrated diamonds which are deeply incised at the sides. Their outlines are accentuated by embroidery. The design shows notable similarities to the parmakli kilims woven in the Afyon region of West Anatolia. A collector’s piece of great appeal in terms of graphic effect and colour. Purchased by the consignor at Galerie Neiriz, Berlin. – Well preserved, original finishes all around, mounted onto canvas.

This large, red-ground Karachov Kazak displays a four-and-one medallion design as well as a main border of stepped polygons which alternate with pairs of triangles.
