Turkish Kilim Rug in Blue, Beige and Brown Stripes BB6958 5'1" × 6'3" $3,500

Intriguing and elegant, this antique kilim shows the artistic sublimity and technical finesse of Turkish rug craftsmanship. Made circa 1930s’, it looks very different from what we are used to when thinking about traditional art, although still maintains a distinct tribal character. Its design is playful but also classy and timeless.

This antique kilim is composed of several pieces of fabric with three types of a stipe design, all sewn together with a visible seam that emphasizes its tribal character. The composition is perfectly balanced so it will match both relaxed boho decors and stately, traditional arrangements. Its success can largely be attributed to the warm color palette featuring shades of brown, beige and off-white with touches of blue.

The antique Turkish kilim was carefully hand-woven of wool in accordance with centuries-old weaving techniques. Thanks to such thorough making it has survived until this day practically unscathed. If properly maintained, the flat weave will serve its owners for generations without the slightest signs of blemish.
