About the Item
Vintage Persian Kilim Rug - Natural Wool in Earthy Brown Striations
Size: 6'10" × 9'4" (208 × 284 cm)
Circa: 1950
Age: Vintage
Color: Beige, Brown
Origin: Persia
Style: Casual
A masterclass in understated elegance, this mid-20th-century vintage Persian Kilim rug—dating to the 1950s—embodies the artisanal precision and humble beauty of traditional Iranian flatweaves. Its visual appeal lies in its simplicity and honesty: handwoven using undyed, natural wool in a warm spectrum of earthen browns, taupes, creams, and tans, the rug achieves subtle tonal variation through a meticulous stripe-based patchwork construction.
The design is formed from horizontal bands of loomed strips in differing hues, each one featuring slight irregularities and variegations in color and weave—testimony to its handmade origin. These bands are then expertly stitched together, creating a rhythmic gradient of tonal shifts that lend texture and quiet sophistication to the overall composition.
In the close-up images, the rug reveals its rich tactility. The thick wool pile is densely woven, and you can observe occasional natural flecks of sheep’s wool—ranging from ivory to chocolate—giving the surface a raw, organic charm. The handwoven technique imparts a sense of authenticity and grounded luxury, ideal for interiors that lean toward Scandinavian minimalism, organic modernism, or wabi-sabi aesthetics.
This Kilim’s understated palette and raw textures allow it to blend harmoniously into a range of interiors—from rustic farmhouses and bohemian lofts to more contemporary spaces that value material integrity and sustainable craftsmanship. The rug's durability and quality also make it suitable for high-traffic areas, while its historical context adds a layer of cultural richness.
With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
