Handwoven in wool and originating circa 1950-1960, this 5x5 vintage kilim is a rare square tribal curation from the Rug & Kilim collection.
On the Design: Connoisseurs and designers alike will appreciate the graphic soul of this square flatweave, where a sequence of rich, saturated hues underscores both stripes and geometric patterns in a bold all-over style. The field is defined by thick horizontal bands of terracotta red, burnt orange, and deep chocolate brown, set against crisp cream stripes. Keen eyes will admire the playful geometric motifs floating within the wider bands; a rhythmic arrangement of sapphire blue triangles and teal parallelograms provides a sharp, architectural contrast to the earthy background.
This kilim is a colorful work of rustic charm and personal beauty, offering a versatile size with vast design applications. Unlike traditional runners, its square proportions make it an idyllic choice for centering a cozy reading nook, grounding a small entryway, or even serving as a vibrant wall hanging. This expressive work provides a sophisticated splash of color while maintaining a grounded, folk-art aesthetic that remains visually electric and historically resonant.
Condition: This vintage flatweave further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
