Story

A great old Shahsavan tribal kilim from the South Caucasus. Such kilims are usually attributed to the Shirvan Khanate and have rows of extra large lozenges separated by narrow horizontal strips. The white is cotton, a well known habit of these weavers. Great natural dyes especially a radiant green. The size is extremely desirable as most such kilims end up being long and narrow.

I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
