Handwoven in wool and originating circa 1950–1960, this 5x8 vintage kilim rug is a tribal curation among the new additions to the Rug & Kilim collection.
On the Design: A polychromatic colorway with both rich and vibrant hues underscores both stripes and geometric patterns in the all-over style. The field is defined by a rhythmic sequence of horizontal bands in earth tones, clay red, forest green, and mustard yellow, set against a neutral cream ground. Keen eyes will admire the playful movement created by the varied widths of the stripes, which house subtle geometric dashed-line motifs and stippled textures.
Admirers of the craft may note that its construction may reflect an initial intention as a table runner—an equally suitable use given its length today. It’s a colorful work of rustic charm and personal beauty, in a versatile size with vast design applications. Connoisseurs and designers will appreciate the playful charm that this vintage flatweave carries, making it a comfortable rustic choice for any space desiring an expressive splash of color.
Condition: This vintage flatweave further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
