On the Design:

This vintage square kilim offers a lesson in quiet sophistication, proving that powerful design requires only purity of line and natural tone. The field is dominated by a consistent, rhythmic pattern of vertical stripes, a simple structure that emphasizes the honesty and texture of the material itself.

The palette is entirely monochromatic, a calming and deeply versatile spectrum of natural beige, soft taupe, and intermittent thin lines of deep mocha brown. The colors flow subtly into one another—an effect known as abrash—creating a sense of lived-in authenticity and warmth.

The slight, organic variations within the vertical lines attest to the presence of the weaver's hand, ensuring the geometry feels alive rather than mechanical. This piece brings a serene, grounding stability to a room, perfectly suited for defining a large, contemporary seating area.

Condition:

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