On the Design:

This personal vintage piece is meant to catch the eye, yet still so atypical in its color and design choices that are so complementary to each other making it a comfortable, and inviting piece. Admirers of the craft may admire this as one of our new favorite examples in Kilims of the mid-20th century for sure—made with dyes that’s aged beautifully. It’s clearly a work of the best dye, with fine detail and the vibrant, saturated colors among the many personal elements that give Kilims their beauty and irreplaceable old-world charm. Tones of indigo and navy blue underscore the field, while the geometric patterns and ram’s horn border enjoy a range of vibrant red, rich brown, and teal hues among the many fabulous notes at play.

Connoisseurs may further admire the subtle sense of movement that its color variations lend the geometry—a subdued, but intriguing departure from traditional area rugs of its period. It’s a fine play of rustic geometric motifs in a reserved, sophisticated manner, and its size offers vast design applications, making it well suited to other decorative purposes.
