Handwoven in wool, circa 1950-1960, this 9x11 vintage kilim is believed to originate from Turkey and its design is a rare one with some elements of Balkan design. On the Design: Its colorway is a rich range of red, chartreuse green, brown and purple hues throughout very unique geometric patterns in the field—woven to look almost like scales in how they flow into each other, with a gradation one seldom seen in Kilims of this period and before. Connoisseurs may further admire that its fabulous design is matched only in rarity by its exceptionally large size—among the best one could find of a Kilim with this rich natural patina and play of modern-meets-classic sensibilities today. Condition: This vintage Turkish kilim rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. It is a very collectible piece, ready for the floor and size is also well suited to wall-hanging tapestry projects and other decorative purposes.
