On the Design:

This captivating kilim is a joyful study in horizontal rhythm, where grounding earth tones are punctuated by unexpected flashes of color. The design consists of numerous horizontal stripes of varying widths, creating a dense and layered composition across the entire field.

The palette relies heavily on soft, neutral bands of heathered brown, taupe, and cream, establishing a serene foundation. This neutrality is brilliantly contrasted by thin, deliberate lines of saturated color: vibrant magenta-pink, sunny gold, and cool teal-blue. These accents imbue the piece with an infectious sense of tribal whimsey and energy.

The aesthetic balance between the calm, organic texture of the neutral wool and the bold, graphic punctuation of the brighter hues showcases the weaver's intuitive mastery of color relationships. This is a wonderfully charismatic piece that instantly brightens and grounds any room.

Condition:

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