A Masterpiece of the Shahsavan Nomads
Acquiring a textile from Ariana Rugs is an investment in a 45-year lineage of connoisseurship. Serving the Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and global design communities for over 35 years, our founder—a third-generation rug authority—personally curates every piece. This Antique Shahsavan Open Cradle Rug is a rare treasure, handled with the dignity and respect that only a true master of the loom can provide.
Centuries of Refined Craftsmanship
Shahsavan kilims, primarily crafted along the rugged Iranian border, represent some of the most prized traditional textiles in the world. This specific piece was originally an open cradle, a central element of traditional nomadic culture, and has been thoughtfully altered to serve as a distinctive area rug. Through centuries of refinement, the Shahsavan people have honed techniques passed down through generations, resulting in hand-woven pieces that are esteemed for their durability and complex geometric beauty.
