This Turkish kilim from the 1970s is a testament to Anatolian craftsmanship, handwoven in a flatweave technique from wool and cotton. The composition features alternating horizontal stripes in varying widths and a palette of earthy reds, terracotta, burnt orange, olive green, beige, brown, black, and subtle blue-gray. Two broader bands are adorned with traditional Anatolian geometric motifs in cream and brown, introducing a distinctive ethnic character. The ends of the rug are finished with a decorative border of stylized floral and leaf motifs in red and green, framed by a zigzag outline. The surface is matte, flat, and slightly coarse—visible weft and warp threads affirm the authenticity of handweaving. Edges are precisely finished. The rug is preserved in excellent vintage condition, showing only minimal traces of use and no damage or repairs.
This kilim tells the story of 1970s Anatolia, when traditional craft maintained a dialogue with the rhythms of rural life. Its stripes and motifs unfold like a narrative about a region where the colors of earth and vegetation mirror the cadence of nature. The matte texture absorbs light, suggesting tranquility, while the geometric patterns recall timeless symbols of protection and prosperity. The pattern and weave evoke the hands that, for decades, repeated the same rhythm, bringing genuine materiality and honesty into the space.
The rug can be paired with classic solid wood furniture or simple sofas in neutral tones to highlight its rustic appeal. It works
