On the Design:

This piece is a masterful meditation on line and color, translating classical structure into a profound visual rhythm. The design is defined by a series of densely packed, fine vertical stripes that run the entire length of the rug, creating an illusion of height and stately refinement.

The palette is rich and complex, relying heavily on deeply saturated, warm tones: a foundation of near-black brown and resonant burgundy is punctuated by thin, luminous lines of pale cream, muted gold, and rich sienna.

This careful balance of dark and light creates a subtle, sophisticated shimmer across the surface.

The textile achieves its powerful depth not through complex motifs, but through the honest, textural variation within the stripe edges, where the slight shifts in the weave attest to the artisan’s presence. It is a timeless piece that lends a quiet, tailored formality to any setting.

Condition:

This vintage kilim further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage. See less
