Handwoven in the Konya region of Central Anatolia, it reflects a long tradition of flatweave textiles known for their bold geometry, symbolic motifs, and vibrant color compositions.

The design features a dynamic arrangement of geometric tribal motifs, woven in a rhythmic pattern that feels both structured and playful. At its center, a pink-red field creates a lively foundation, layered with burgundy and soft sage elements that add depth and subtle contrast. The composition is framed by a multi-tonal border in brown, beige, and teal, grounding the brighter hues while enhancing the overall balance.

Woven entirely of handspun wool and colored with natural vegetable dyes, this kilim has developed a soft, time-worn patina that speaks to its authenticity. Unlike pile rugs, kilims are flatwoven, giving them a lighter, more versatile quality—perfect for layering or for spaces where a lower profile is desired.

At approximately 50 years old, this piece carries the charm of vintage textiles, with age-appropriate wear that adds to its character without detracting from its beauty.

Ideal as an accent in an entryway, a layered piece in a living space, or even hung as textile art, this kilim is a statement of color, craftsmanship, and heritage—perfect for interiors that embrace a collected, eclectic aesthetic.
