Motifs & Symbolism
This modern kilim is not based on traditional Anatolian symbols but draws its meaning from artistic abstraction. The asymmetrical facial geometry reflects themes of human emotion and identity explored by Paul Klee. As with traditional Turkish weaving, this reinterpretation continues the dialogue between art, material, and culture.

What Is a Turkish Rug?
Origins — Turkish rugs trace their roots to nomadic Anatolian tribes who wove them for warmth, prayer, and decoration. Over centuries, these textiles evolved into one of the world’s most admired forms of woven art.
Symbolism — Traditional motifs like the Tree of Life, Elibelinde, and Ram’s Horn symbolize fertility, strength, and eternity.
Weaving Technique — Flat-woven kilims like this example use interlaced wool warps and wefts, producing a reversible textile with exceptional durability.
Modern Relevance — Today, Turkish rugs serve as cultural bridges—uniting old-world authenticity with modern design sensibilities. Each piece, handmade and one-of-a-kind, carries the living soul of Anatolian artistry into the homes of collectors and designers worldwide.
