Part of Rug & Kilim’s collection, it reflects a thoughtful assemblage of hand-selected fragments, reimagined into a cohesive and expressive composition.

On the Design:

Admirers will appreciate the patchwork construction, where an array of handwoven Kilim panels is arranged in a grid-like composition, each segment preserving its unique weave, tonal variation, and subtle irregularities. The design celebrates the authenticity of repurposed textiles, allowing the individuality of each fragment to contribute to the whole.

The palette leans toward a sophisticated, mixed array of temperaments —brick red, charcoal grey, and silver-ivory, followed by unexpected hints of mustard ochre and deep indigo. This creates a nuanced interplay of light and dark across the various handwoven segments. These tones are time-softened, lending depth and a quiet sophistication to the overall composition.

Unlike traditional rugs with central medallions or defined borders, this piece relies on the rhythm of rectangular forms and tonal contrast. The result is a modern geometric sensibility grounded in Turkish weaving traditions, offering both visual structure and organic variation.

Condition:

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