Kilim Veramin - Qashqai. Persian. Circa 1880. 265 X 160 Cm

An exceptional piece, rare and in a state of preservation close to the miracle, Veramin kilim from Persia. Woven wool on wool. The weave is a true marvel, as thin as a sheet of cigarette paper. It's simple, we are at the limit of feasibility. Thinner, with wool, it does not exist. The piece is supple and surprisingly light. To the touch, it is striking. The zigzag patterns repeated endlessly on the surface form a kind of visual tension, creating a staging that is both hypnotic and unreal. Depending on the ambient light, reliefs appear to form a kind of dance with successive and distorting levels. The choice and nature of the shades are extremely rare. We are instantly seduced by their diversity and their perfect harmony. We are touching on excellence. Circa 1880 or earlier. Excellent condition. Dim: 265 x 160 cm. Laurent Beauty of Kilims
