This is an extraordinary and rare find: a vintage, handmade Turkish Cicim kilim, believed to be approximately 60 years old and originating from the storied Taurus mountains of Anatolia. Woven by the nomadic tribes of the region, this piece is not merely an area rug; it is a unique work of art that tells the story of a rich cultural heritage with every thread. Its exceptional craftsmanship and authentic materials make it a perfect statement piece for any home, capable of withstanding the test of time and high foot-traffic.
The rug's color palette is a masterful blend of rich, earthy tones and vibrant accents, which is characteristic of pieces made with natural dyes. The dominant colors create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Dominant Colors: The foundation of the design is a rich, burnt orange, a deep, muted red, and a serene olive green. These colors are intertwined to form the large, repeating geometric patterns that define the kilim's main aesthetic.
Accent Colors: The main patterns are accented by a range of contrasting hues that bring the design to life. These include crisp white or cream, a deep charcoal black, a striking lavender, and hints of soft ochre yellow. The presence of these accent colors adds complexity and visual interest to the overall design.
Care and Maintenance Instructions
Vacuuming and Rotating: The rug should be vacuumed regularly without a beater bar to prevent damage to the fibers. Periodically rotating the rug ensures even wear and exposure to sunlight, preventing uneven fading.
Spot Cleaning: Minor spills should be blotted immediately with a clean cloth. Never rub the stain, as this can spread it deeper into the fibers. Only a mild soap and cold water should be used to carefully dilute any remaining residue.
Professional Cleaning: For a thorough cleaning, professional services that specialize in antique or oriental rugs are highly recommended to preserve its quality and cultural value.
