ABOUT THIS PIECE

Handwoven by nomads of Zanjan province in northwestern Persia.

Made from sustainably and locally sourced handspun Wool and natural dyes.

Nomadic carpets are unique pieces of art, handwoven over many years through improvisation and reference to folk iconography specific to each region. Nomadic carpets often depict an aerial view abstraction of the weaver’s pastoral nomadic life and their place in the universe, featuring many animals, people and plants and fields.

This distinctive contemporary carpet with the iteration of blue, sky-blue, and black squares in its body, reminding Gabbeh’s designs, suits well for various ideas in interior design.
