Turkish Vintage Striped Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8535 6'5" × 9'3" $8,000

This vintage Turkish kilim, woven in the mid-20th century, reflects the clean-lined simplicity of Anatolian flat-weave tradition. Rendered in a room-size format, it offers a restrained yet characterful foundation for interiors that favor texture, pattern, and honest craftsmanship.

The design is built from broad horizontal bands of sand beige interrupted by softened navy blue and charcoal fields, with narrow brick-red stripes providing measured punctuation. Rather than relying on a formal border or central medallion, the composition uses rhythm and repetition to create its appeal, giving the rug a quietly graphic presence. The stripes feel relaxed and slightly irregular, which adds to the artisanal charm.

Woven in wool, the surface shows the subtle variations and tactile grain associated with traditional kilim work. Its calm palette and linear geometry make it especially versatile in contemporary, organic modern, or mid-century settings, where it can soften architecture while still anchoring the room with structure.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
