The all time finest and rarest of all kilims are these small Senneh ones woven on ππ’π§π΅ ππ’π―π¨ "seven-colored" silk warps. They were made as presentation pieces in the Qajar age, exchanged or presented as gifts between courtiers and noblemen. It seems unlikely they were ever intended to be used on the floor, but rather as ceremonial pieces to be placed on elevated surfaces on momentous occasions. The ππ°π ππ’π³π’π―π¨ field of flowers is a complex design that is difficult enough to create on a knotted pile carpet let alone an angular kilim technique. This is a stunning feat of craftsmanship and a top top collectible kilim.
