Its low-profile texture and rich, rhythmic patterning make it a versatile, soulful accent for any modern or rustic interior.

Originating from the Sivrihisar region of Central Anatolia, this piece reflects a weaving tradition renowned for its intricate "Cicim" (embroidered-weave) techniques. These rugs were traditionally crafted by nomadic women using locally sourced organic wool to document tribal stories and family heritage. Today, such authentic mid-century pieces serve as durable, collectible links to a disappearing way of life.

The slender profile and high-contrast geometric diamond motifs of this kilim make it an ideal choice for "jewelry" spots in the home, such as in front of a kitchen sink, a narrow entryway, or as a bedside accent.

■ Motifs & Symbolism
The design features repeating "Pıtrak" (Burdock) motifs within the diamond lozenges, traditionally woven to ward off the evil eye and bring abundance to the household. The "Running Water" border signifies life and the continuity of the soul, a staple of Sivrihisar tribal identity.

Vacuum gently without a beater bar, rotate regularly for even wear, and use a rug pad. For minor spills, spot clean with mild soap and lukewarm water as needed.
