A specialist in kilims since the early 1970s, the TRIFF gallery has largely contributed to making these weavings known in France and Europe. Since its creation, the gallery has always favored the criteria of quality, authenticity, aesthetics and originality for the choice of its kilims.
This kilim is densely woven. As is very often the case in this region, it is woven in 3 parts and its motif depicts the trees of life, with bunches of grapes hanging from them.
Early 20th century kilim from the Bakhtiari tribes, from the Chahar Mahal valley, which crosses the Zagros Mountains.
The "spearhead" border of this kilim is very characteristic of this region. The center, on the other hand, is more unusual in both color and pattern. The linear aspect of the whole is broken by the "brushstrokes" that irregularly enter the center of the weave.
The white parts have been woven with cotton to accentuate the contrast.
