Gashgai Kilim, Hand-woven – Red, 246x61 cm

The Qashqai are Turkic-speaking nomadic tribes renowned for their handmade kilims—reversible, flat-woven wool rugs traditionally crafted with great care and skill by women. Each kilim is a unique work of art, lovingly handmade using a special slit-weave technique where small openings create harmonious color transitions.

The intricate patterns showcase classic Qashqai motifs such as diamonds, squares, stripes, and the characteristic Caucasian star motif. Vibrant colors like blue, yellow, red, green, and beige are masterfully interwoven, reflecting not only the outstanding artistry of the weavers but also the rich cultural heritage passed down through generations of Qashqai women.
