This Turkish handmade kilim rug from 1966 is a testament to Anatolian weaving mastery as it entered into dialogue with modernist aesthetics of the mid-20th century. Measuring 155 × 232 cm, the piece features a central row of large diamond medallions filled with serrated zigzags and stepped motifs, all framed by dynamic, repeating geometric borders. The tightly woven blend of wool and cotton gives the surface a durable, slightly coarse texture with the matte finish typical for flat-woven kilims. The palette is both rich and vibrant: deep reds, earthy greens, mustard yellow, muted blues, soft pinks, and creamy beiges come together in sharp, rhythmic transitions, each hue revealing the artisan’s skilled hand. The rug is in excellent vintage condition, showing only minimal signs of use consistent with its age. Super condition washed ready to use. The kilim’s form narrates a moment when tradition encountered the spirit of the 1960s — a decade in Turkey marked by the search for a new visual identity, where folk motifs were reimagined through bold color and geometric clarity. The strong contrasts, confident patterns, and even rhythm echo the optimism and creative dynamism of the era, while remaining rooted in the heritage of Anatolian craftsmanship. Every motif seems to speak of an ongoing conversation between past and present — as if the rug itself were
