Egyptian Nile Valley Kilim, 98 x 160 cm

Newly cleaned and in good condition, this handwoven Egyptian kilim is crafted in wool on a cotton foundation and depicts a serene Nile Valley scene. Figures along the riverbank, a grazing ox, a shepherd with sheep, and a boat on the water are rendered with charm and clarity, while palm trees and traditional village buildings form a peaceful backdrop.

The piece features impressive reflection and shadow detailing in the river — a subtle, artistic touch that brings depth and movement to the composition.

Woven in clear, luminous pastel tones — soft blues, warm greens, sunlit yellows, and gentle lavender — it captures everyday life along the Nile with warmth, simplicity, and a painterly character.

Drawing on the Nile Valley weaving tradition, this kilim blends folk-art storytelling with textile craftsmanship, resulting in a unique piece.
