On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire this as a collectible piece, both in its provenance and its uncommon large size for a Kilim.

This tribal flatweave enjoys vibrant colors and an interesting take on primitivist geometric patterns known to this provenance. This field plays bright, saturated red, gold, green and blue in a lattice with crosses and other motifs with a fabulous, arresting look. Keen eyes will further note the quality of the slit weave, both in the sharpness of the field’s stepped geometric patterns and the same meticulous detail in the borders. The border further hosts a slight black accent in its brown tones, which reads beautifully with the brighter tones.

Condition:

This mid-century Kilim rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. less
