The Filikli Kilim from the 1970s presents an example of handwoven Anatolian craft in which the traditional filikli technique meets bold, graphic composition. The surface of this rug is built from wide horizontal stripes in deep burgundy, red, ochre, brown, beige, and shades of grey, interspersed with geometric motifs—diamonds and linear patterns. Its pile alternates between flat-woven sections and plush, woolen filikli tufts, lending a sculptural, three-dimensional texture. The overall matte finish is subtly broken by the irregular sheen of the wool, while the hand-knotted, uneven fringes at the edges emphasize its artisanal provenance. Measuring 390 × 298 cm, the rug is made of wool with possible cotton in the foundation; visible construction details include interlaced wefts and slight pattern asymmetries, all attesting to its handmade nature. The condition is very good—colors remain vivid and saturated, with no visible damage or stains.This kilim carries the narrative of 1970s Anatolia, where daily life in the village workshop intertwined with a search for new forms of expression. The long, soft pile disperses light in a way that recalls the warmth of home gatherings and the simplicity of rural living. Each band of color and texture echoes the workshop in which the weaver, working with natural dyes and raw wool, created not just a functional object but a piece of local identity.Such a rug pairs well with raw light wood, leather armchairs, or a minimalist sofa, bringing out the contrast between tradition and modernity. It would work particularly well in a living room or open space with neutral walls, allowing the bold color palette and texture to serve as a focal point. Natural textiles, ceramics
