Made with handwoven wool in Persia 1950-1960, this 3x8 vintage Zanjan Kilim Runner is a particularly bright and sought-after work of an exciting new curation from Rug & Kilim’s collection of classic Kilims and Flat Weaves.

On the Design:

This classic Zanjan masterwork presents a sophisticated interpretation of the classic Kurdish khorjin format, reimagined as architectural textile through extraordinary geometric precision and symbolic complexity. The design employs vertical compartmentalization where individual panels function as independent geometric studies while contributing to unified visual narrative. Each compartment reveals microscopic attention to symbolic detail—central octagonal medallions demonstrate stepped perimeter construction with internal cruciform elements that create radial symmetry within angular frameworks. The alternating zoomorphic motifs between medallions display exceptional calligraphic precision, stylized bird forms rendered through minimal linear elements that achieve maximum symbolic impact through reductive means.

This Zanjan kilim functions as sculptural wall art, its vertical compartmentalization creating dramatic focal points that enhance spatial hierarchy in contemporary interiors while maintaining the sophisticated restraint essential to luxury design sensibilities. The piece excels in gallery-style environments where its geometric precision complements minimalist architectural elements and museum-quality furnishings.

Condition:

This vintage Zanjan Kilim Runner further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage.

A Legacy of Excellence Since the Beginning

Rug & Kilim is a New York–based institution devoted to the art of rugs, kilims, and tapestries. Founded in 1980 by Jahanshah “Josh” Nazmiyal, we began as a humble family workshop and have grown into one of the most respected authorities in the field—without ever losing the intimacy and integrity that define our boutique ethos. For over four decades, we’ve served collectors, designers, and connoisseurs who value craftsmanship, soul, and above all, rarity.

In 1989, Rug & Kilim celebrated a major milestone with the opening of its second store in Morristown, New Jersey. The business quickly established itself as a national source for the finest Oriental rugs, offering a wide-ranging collection from Persia, Tibet, India, Pakistan, Russia, and China. Known for its expertise, curated selection, and exceptional customer service, Rug & Kilim became synonymous with quality, integrity, and a deep understanding of color and design. The firm’s commitment to placing rare and distinguished pieces in homes and collections across the country has remained at the heart of its philosophy for decades.
