Vintage Turkish Embroidered Kilim 1960 Sivrihisar Handwoven Mat 1'7"x2'6"
This vintage hand-woven mat captures the minimalist yet vibrant essence of Anatolian flat-weave artistry, elevated by intricate hand-embroidery. Its low-profile texture and soulful geometric patterns reflect the authentic nomadic spirit of mid-century Turkish craftsmanship.
Hailing from the historic weaving center of Sivrihisar in Central Anatolia, this piece represents a lineage of skilled embroidery-on-kilim techniques. Sivrihisar weavers are renowned for their intricate "Cicim" and "Zili" styles, where additional colorful threads are wrapped around the warp to create raised, textured patterns. This specific 1960s example showcases the transition from traditional tribal motifs to the refined village aesthetics of the era.

The central medallions feature variations of the "Elibelinde" (Hands-on-hips) motif, a powerful Anatolian symbol of femininity, fertility, and motherhood. The surrounding geometric zig-zags and "Akrep" (Scorpion) patterns were traditionally woven into these mats to protect the household from external threats and ward off the evil eye.
