This elegant Kelleh-format carpet, woven in northwestern Persia in the late 19th century, features a finely articulated geometric field arranged in a continuous lattice of diamond-shaped compartments. Each compartment contains stylized floral and rosette motifs rendered in a warm, harmonious palette. The use of undyed camel wool in the ground enriches the overall composition with a natural, earthen tonality prized in tribal and village weaving traditions of the region.
A series of complementary borders—most notably a bold geometric main border framed by narrower guard stripes—provides a strong architectural enclosure to the intricately patterned field. The carpet displays the hallmarks of skilled regional craftsmanship: balanced proportions, crisp drawing, and a nuanced interplay of color achieved through naturally dyed yarns.
Versatile and timeless, this Kelleh is a perfect carpet for both contemporary and antique interiors, offering an authentic textile presence that complements modern minimalism as gracefully as it enhances traditional décor.
This piece exemplifies the refined yet robust aesthetic of northwestern Persian village weaving during the late 19th century and remains a collectible carpet distinguished by its age, character, and enduring beauty.
