A beautifully handwoven Anatolian kilim filled with traditional tribal symbols and vibrant artisan character.
Ships fast from Turkey with no extra import costs for U.S. buyers.
Crafted by skilled Sivas villagers in the 1960s, this unused vintage piece brings warmth, craftsmanship, and heritage into any modern home.
Handwoven in the Sivas region by village artisans, this remarkable kilim was originally created for personal household use and has remained unused for decades. Its finely executed cecim work and rhythmic horizontal layout reflect the deep weaving traditions of Central Anatolia, where pattern, repetition, and symbolism come together to protect the home and celebrate daily life.
This large-format kilim works beautifully as an area rug, grounding spacious living rooms, dining areas, open kitchens, or bedrooms with authentic Turkish craftsmanship. The tribal geometry adds movement and cultural presence without overwhelming the room, making it ideal for both contemporary and eclectic interiors.
Soft underfoot, professionally cleaned, and ready to place, this piece offers a timeless connection between heritage artistry and modern living.

WHAT IS A TURKISH KILIM?
Origins — Turkish kilims originate from nomadic and village weaving traditions across Anatolia, where flat-woven textiles served both practical and symbolic purposes for families.
Symbolism — Their motifs often represent protection, fertility, family unity, strength, or good fortune, passed culturally from one generation to the next.
Weaving Technique — A kilim is woven on a loom without pile, creating a strong, lightweight textile defined by interlocking warp and weft. Cecim embroidery, when present, is added on top for extra texture and meaning.
Modern Relevance — Today, kilims blend seamlessly into contemporary interiors because of their versatility, artisanal appeal, and deep cultural heritage.
