Crafted in a rural area near Kagizman in Eastern Turkey, the piece displays superb pattern clarity: crisp hooked medallions, zigzag life-path lines, and multi-band protective borders, all defined by thin, tightly packed yarns that create a remarkably clean flatweave surface.

The terracotta, charcoal, saffron, burnt orange, and camel tones form a warm, grounded palette that works beautifully in modern and traditional interiors alike. Ideal for long living rooms, gallery halls, loft corridors, or open-plan spaces, this large kilim brings authentic rural Anatolian textile art into a contemporary design context.

The rug remains in very good vintage condition with strong wool, beautiful dye maturation, and no repairs. As typical of handwoven kilims of this age, it shows slight natural waviness and a small area of mild age wear, visible in the photos, which contributes to its character rather than detracts from it. Professionally cleaned and completely odorless.
