A distinctive addition to Rug & Kilim’s curation, the piece reflects a compelling balance between bold geometry and soft, time-faded color, imbued with the character and warmth of utilitarian weaving traditions.


On the Design:

This piece enjoys a richly composed field of vertical bands, each distinguished by its own geometric vocabulary. Alternating panels feature intricate diamond lattice motifs, stylized linear patterns, and more subdued textural stripes—creating a dynamic interplay between structure and variation.

The palette is distinctly polychromatic, with warm tones of coral, terracotta, and rose juxtaposed against cooler notes of sage, pale blue, and soft grey. These color transitions lend depth and visual rhythm to the composition, while subtle abrash throughout enhances the organic, handwoven character of the wool.

Particularly noteworthy is the balance between ornate and minimal elements: the more detailed geometric panels are framed by quieter, almost solid bands, allowing the eye to move fluidly across the textile.

This interplay evokes both tribal symbolism and a surprisingly modern sense of design. The weave itself is tactile and expressive, with slight irregularities that speak to its handmade origin. The edges retain a softly finished border, reinforcing the textile’s versatility as both a decorative wall hanging and a functional floor piece.
