78797 Vintage Orange Greek Kilim Rug, 01'05 x 04'01. Handwoven Greek kilim rugs from Crete are traditional textiles renowned for their intricate designs and vibrant colors. Made from a combination of wool, cotton, and sometimes rayon, these rugs are both durable and uniquely textured. Crafted by skilled artisans using traditional weaving techniques on looms, these flatwoven kilim rugs feature no pile, resulting in a thinner and more flexible rug. They often display intricate geometric and floral motifs, enhanced by colorful embroidery that creates striking contrasts and detailed patterns.
These rugs hold significant cultural and historical importance, representing the rich heritage of Cretan and Greek textile artistry. They serve both practical and decorative purposes, making them ideal for home decor and highly valued by collectors and enthusiasts of traditional textiles. Handwoven Greek kilim rugs from Crete exemplify the island's rich textile tradition, blending functionality with artistic beauty.
This handwoven Cretan Greek kilim rug is a mesmerizing work of art, showcasing a radiant orange vermillion background that gracefully contrasts with bold black stripes. The vivid hues capture the eye, drawing you into the rich culture of Cretan history. Across its surface, additional horizontal bands are adorned with intricate embroidered motifs, featuring burdock, fetter, and enigmatic Grecian tribal symbols. Each element is meticulously crafted, weaving together stories of tradition, protection, and unity.
The burdock motifs, believed to ward off the evil eye, stand as ancient guardians of the home, while also symbolizing abundance and prosperity. The fetter designs embody the continuity of family union and the unwavering devotion of lovers, a heartfelt hope that they remain forever entwined. These symbolic elements transform the rug into more than a decorative piece; it becomes a testament to the enduring cultural legacy and the deeply rooted beliefs of the Cretan people.
Rendered in variegated shades of vermillion-orange, black and beige.
