On the Design:
The playful hues of gold, ivory and rust complement the sense of easygoing, soothing movement created in the classic chevron pattern with a warm and joyful mood, with the subtle variations of hue within the repetition lending a slight air of rustic charm to an otherwise vibrant rug.

Keen eyes for detail may further admire the subtle sense of movement that its color variations lend the geometry—a subdued, but intriguing departure from traditional area rugs of its period.

It’s an unsung exemplar of rustic charm and folk art as much as a comfortable, cozy handmade Kilim, with a versatile size and vast design applications therein.

Altogether a unique exploration of aesthetic that still enjoys durability and comfort underfoot, exemplary of mid-century flatweaves and the unique designs of this provenance.

Condition:

This vintage Egyptian kilim further enjoys good condition, with only minor elements of wear consistent with its age and origins. See less
