Hand-woven silk-on-silk Oushak kilim with a refined geometric diamond composition, created to bring subtle pattern, artisanal texture, and contemporary gallery elegance into larger living spaces.
At first glance, this piece reads like a modern artwork laid softly on the floor: crisp nested diamonds floating across a calm ground, each built from countless tiny stepped shapes that create a gentle three-dimensional rhythm. The repeated central medallions and border of ascending triangles echo traditional Anatolian geometry while nodding to Native American–inspired and mid-century graphic design, giving the kilim a distinctly contemporary, cosmopolitan character. Woven in luminous silk on undyed silk warps, it has a refined matte–to–soft-sheen surface that feels elegant rather than flashy, perfect for interiors that value quiet luxury over noise.
Hand-woven in the 2020s in Oushak using renowned Bursa silk, this kilim was completed in roughly one month by our skilled weavers. Its unusual combination of silk construction, disciplined geometric repetition, and generous, practical proportions makes it a one-of-a-kind statement piece: bold in structure, serene in presence, and designed for everyday enjoyment rather than museum distance. Use it to anchor a seating group, frame a dining table, or define an open-plan lounge; its clean architecture and artisanal pedigree will elevate everything placed upon it.

Motifs & Symbolism
The composition is built around multiple nested diamond medallions formed from small stepped elements, evoking protection, focus, and continuity. Their orderly repetition down the field creates a sense of balance and progression, ideal for grounding modern interiors. Along the sides runs a band of stacked triangular forms reminiscent of mountain ranges or architectural steps, a familiar Anatolian guard motif that symbolically frames and “protects” the central design. The interplay of these precise geometric units gives the rug a disciplined, almost architectural energy while remaining warm and handmade.
Color Palette & Design Insight
Soft parchment / ivory ground that keeps the overall look light and airy
Powdery taupe, sandy beige, and fawn tones within the stepped triangles for a calm, natural base
Dusty rose, muted mauve, and pale blush accents that add gentle warmth without overpowering
Subtle notes of clay, wheat, and mellow ochre introducing depth and contemporary sophistication
Border triangles in layered beige, café au lait, and stone hues that neatly frame the field
The fine silk fibers introduce a delicate sheen that shifts with the light, enhancing the geometry and giving the rug an elevated, gallery-ready presence while remaining easy to pair with neutral, minimalist, boho-chic, or design-forward interiors.

What Is a Turkish Kilim?
A Turkish kilim is a traditional flat-woven textile created without pile, using tightly interlocked warps and wefts to form both structure and pattern. Unlike tufted or knotted rugs, kilims are lighter, reversible, and celebrated for their crisp geometry and graphic clarity. For centuries, Anatolian families have woven kilims for daily life: to insulate and soften floors, to cover tables and bedding, to divide rooms, and to mark important moments such as dowries or migrations. Each region developed its own visual language; Oushak, long famed for its workshop carpets, has in recent decades also become a center for high-quality contemporary flat-weaves that reinterpret classic forms with new materials.
Motifs such as diamonds, hooks, crosses, and stepped triangles are more than decoration: they echo wishes for protection, prosperity, harmony, and safe passage. Today, collectors and designers seek Turkish kilims for their authenticity, durability, and ability to bridge traditional craft with modern interiors. A finely executed silk kilim like this one pushes that tradition into a contemporary realm—combining ancestral techniques, premium natural materials, and thoughtful design into a functional artwork that can live comfortably on the floor of a busy home, an architect’s studio, or a curated gallery space.
