Handwoven in wool and originating circa 1950-1960, this 4x8 vintage kilim is a stunning tribal addition to the new works in the Rug & Kilim collection.
On the Design:
Connoisseurs and designers alike will appreciate the playful charm of this vintage flatweave, where a polychromatic colorway of rich and vibrant hues underscores both stripes and geometric patterns. The field features a rhythmic sequence of horizontal bands in crimson red, soft peach, and cream against a stippled, charcoal-gray ground. Keen eyes will admire the fine detail in the geometric sawtooth motifs and tribal medallions that create a sense of constant movement.
Admirers of the craft may note that its construction reflects an initial intention as a table runner—an equally suitable use given its length. It’s a colorful work of rustic charm and personal beauty, offering a versatile splash of color for an array of traditional and modern projects. This comfortable nomadic aesthetic remains grounded yet visually electric, suitable for vast design applications.
Condition:
This vintage flatweave enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
