Hand-Woven Diamond Kilim Wool Rug in Touch of Purple Pattern

About the Item

Kilim rugs range from typical, utilitarian functions to symbolic purposes, to art hanging in a home or gallery setting. The true beauty of these carpets is that they could serve several of these purposes across many lifespans. We recommend paying close attention to the motifs and colorscapes that were intentionally chosen by the weaver and visualizing where such a piece would be suited best in your space. If the choices are abundant, try unfurling this work of art in the heart of your home, far from the dirt and chaos of the outside world. Carpet weaving has an essential place in the culture, economy, and art of the “Rug Belt”, a region of countries that stretches from Morocco, through the Middle East, and ends in northern India. Persian carpets, first exported to ancient Greece and revered by great writers of the time, are specifically admired for their strong foundational warps and wefts, and a variety of painstakingly handcrafted elaborate designs. Most well-known motifs range from archetypal, geometric, floral, and some even contain cosmic references to space and stars. These works of textile art are typically woven with wool, silk, or cotton and can take anywhere from weeks to even years to complete once a weaver commences the process. Our collection of diamond-motif rugs hails from the majestic Khyber Pass, a navigable route through the Hindu Kush mountains linking Pakistan and Afghanistan that was once part of the ancient Silk Road. The diamond iconography seen throughout the carpet resembles the peaks and valleys of the mountain landscape that has played such a revered role throughout history. These carpets are as durable as they are beautiful and are known to last for generations with proper care and attention. -Material: 100% Wool -Due to this item's handcrafted or reclaimed nature, there may be slight variations or imperfect qualities that give character to this one of a kind heirloom.
