Woven in the 1950s, this rug stands out not only for its striking beauty but also for its remarkably preserved, unused condition. It's a true treasure that reflects a deep-rooted tradition of handweaving.

Crafted from a blend of pure wool and resilient goat hair, this is a flatweave kilim. Its defining feature is the colorful cicim weave, a traditional technique where geometric motifs are woven with extra threads to create a raised, textural pattern on the surface. These vibrant designs beautifully contrast with the rug's natural, un-dyed light ivory and gray striped background.

This isn't just a rug; it’s a piece of history. Kilims of this type were traditionally used by families for everyday life, such as sharing meals. Finding one in this unused state is highly unusual and adds to its value and appeal.

Professionally cleaned and in excellent vintage condition, this kilim is ready to be a centerpiece in your home. Its unique size and handcrafted nature mean it's not perfectly rectangular, a charming characteristic that highlights its authenticity and artisan origin.
