Made with handwoven wool, this 2x8 Kilim represents an exciting new line of Modern Classics and contemporary flatweaves by Rug & Kilim—a series of designs inspired by antique Suzani Kilims and textiles, among the richest weaving traditions in Central Asian history.On the Design: A bright, sunny gold field serves as a clean, expansive canvas for a framed and utterly charming array of pictorial and botanical motifs. The design is a whimsical folk narrative executed with graphic simplicity, featuring a vertical column of simplified imagery: stylized houses, bird cages, sunbursts, butterflies, flowers, and ladders all connected by delicate vinery. Each motif is rendered in a stark, dark monochrome black, creating a powerful contrast that allows the figures to pop dramatically from the golden ground.Admirers of the craft will particularly admire how the graphic simplicity of the black lines against the single color field lends the piece an ancient, yet highly contemporary feel. The unique execution of this runner—a handwoven wool foundation meticulously finished with intricate line work—creates a multi-dimensional texture. This layered structure allows the figures to emerge clearly from the sunny base, distinguishing the style as a vibrant work of folk art that is a warm and welcoming choice for long spaces.Custom Capable: All sizes and colors available—inquire for a quote.
