VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION
Persian Soumak wool panels
The field is divided into five vertical panels of unequal width, each filled with fine horizontal striations that catch the light differently as the tones shift from pale ivory to warm taupe and soft grey-brown. There is no border framing the composition; the panels simply run edge to edge, meeting in slightly uneven seams. A detail inset shows the close, ridged texture of the surface, where narrow bands of cream, tan, and dark brown alternate in tight, irregular rows.
