This minimalist antique Persian Qashqai Jajim kilim is a striking example of nomadic textile artistry, blending simplicity with cultural richness. Woven by the Qashqai tribes of southwestern Iran, the kilim features a classic plaid composition in warm tones of red, green, and soft beige, intersected by linear stripes in a harmonious rhythm.
What makes this piece especially captivating is the subtle decorative detail along the vertical borders, colourful tufts and dots of wool or cotton are delicately interspersed, adding a handcrafted texture and tribal character without overwhelming the clean design. The lightweight, flatweave construction makes it highly versatile as a floor covering, a throw, or a wall hanging.
This Jajim embodies the utilitarian beauty of Qashqai weaving, making it ideal for lovers of rustic minimalism and traditional crafts—a rare and authentic textile with timeless appeal.
Authentic vintage and antique Persian kilims are handwoven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.

Our kilims are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. In addition, we advise using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your kilim in position and to smooth out any wrinkles from shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your kilim from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your kilim rug.
