Description
A superb mid 20th century, handmade, rectangular Kilim rug.
Kilim rugs are traditionally produced in countries of the former Persian Empire, including Iran, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. They're known for their bright, bold colours, and their wonderful geometric designs. Unlike knotted rugs, kilim rugs are made using a flatware technique, which results in a flat surface with no pile. This technique is extremely time consuming and involves interweaving variously coloured wefts and warps.
Kilims have become extremely popular with modern interior designers as they offer a heavy duty floor covering whilst giving a strong Bohemian or ethnic style to any setting.
Each kilim is unique, as traditionally they were made by nomadic tribes people, with designs being passed down through generations. The motifs and colours on a kilim rug can often tell a story or represent aspects of the weaver's life or environment.
As with most early/mid 20th century kilim rugs, they're not a perfect rectangle, but we think this adds a bit of character to the floor covering and shows its originality.
In overall good, vintage condition.
