Nomadic Kilim 5'1" x 8'
Vivid and full of life, this 5'1" x 8' handwoven Kilim bursts with geometric motifs in saturated hues of red, coral, black, rose, and apricot. Bold diamond medallions anchor the center, framed by a striking floral border and traditional hooked edges. Flatwoven with precision and character, it’s a statement piece that energizes any space—ideal for layering, wall hanging, or adding texture underfoot.
This piece is a traditional Anatolian Kilim, most likely woven in Turkey, where flatweave rug-making dates back thousands of years. Unlike pile rugs, Kilims are made using a slit-weave technique, producing a smooth, tapestry-like surface and bold geometric clarity.
Historically, Kilims were created by nomadic women for personal use—as dowry pieces, prayer rugs, tent dividers, or bedding. Each motif has meaning: diamonds and hooks often symbolize protection, fertility, or the natural cycles of life, while floral borders may represent abundance and harmony.
The colors in this Kilim are likely made from natural vegetable dyes, giving it a rich but soft finish that will age beautifully. The vivid palette and graphic layout place this Kilim somewhere between mid-20th century and late 20th century, when production was both traditional and beginning to expand for the global market.
