This large kilim, measuring 178x375 cm, was handwoven in the 1960s from wool with a touch of cotton, embodying the authentic craftsmanship of mid-century Anatolia. The weave is flat and dense, with a slightly coarse, matte texture typical of traditional regional textiles. The design features rhythmic geometric motifs—diamonds, hooks, and stylized S-shapes—arranged in horizontal bands and woven in contrasting colors. The dominant palette includes warm, earthy tones: terracotta, ochre, burnt orange, deep brown, and muted beige, enriched with cream, black, subtle olive green, and discreet accents of red. The edges are finished with a dark brown braided border, and both ends are adorned with hand-twisted tassels. There are no stains, holes, or visible signs of wear; the colors display gentle, natural fading characteristic of age. The overall condition is excellent.The motifs of this kilim evoke 1960s Anatolia, where weaving traditions merged with subtle influences of modernization. The rhythm of the bands and repeating geometric ornaments speak of daily rituals, gatherings, and the continuity of home life. The subdued, earthy hues seem to carry traces of long-lost sunlight and the shadows of interiors past, while the hand-twisted fringes whisper of the hands that shaped its dense structure.Such a kilim is well suited as a focal point in a living room, laid out on wooden or stone flooring to emphasize the depth of its colors and the structure of the weave. It would complement bohemian or eclectic collector’s spaces, and could also be paired with minimalist elements to create a contrast of textures and tones. Consider combining it with low solid wood furniture, rattan accents, or ceramic accessories in neutral hues
