About the Item

78629 Antique Chinle Southwestern style Kilim Rug, 01'11 x 01'11. This antique Chinle Southwestern style kilim rug is a stunning example of traditional Southwestern style weaving, rich with historical significance and artistry. Crafted by hand from wool, the rug’s color palette combines a dramatic black background with warm, earthy tones of orange, brown, and beige. The contrast between these colors creates a striking composition that captures the essence of the Southwestern landscape, evoking both the rugged beauty of the desert and the warmth of the setting sun. At the center of the design are two prominent beige diamond shapes with serrated edges. These diamonds are not merely decorative; they hold symbolic meaning as representations of the Four Corners region, the ancestral homeland of the Southwestern style tradition. The Four Corners, where Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado meet, is a region of deep spiritual and cultural importance, symbolizing the connection between the Southwestern style culture and the land. These diamond shapes reflect the weaver's homage to this sacred landscape, grounding the piece in heritage and reverence for place. Flanking the central diamonds are chevron patterns in vibrant shades of orange and brown. These chevrons, with their pointed and directional forms, suggest paths or journeys, symbolizing the movement of life and the choices encountered along the way. Their repetition in opposing directions emphasizes balance and duality—reflecting the harmony of life’s opposing forces, such as light and dark, past and future. The bold orange chevrons capture the fiery hues of the Southwestern sunset, while the brown tones echo the earth, further embedding the design in the natural world. Bordering the Southwestern style kilim are narrow stripes in complementary hues, adding structure and depth to the composition. These bands, often seen in Chinle kilims, can symbolize pathways or rivers, suggesting the continuous flow of life and resilience. Together, the motifs and colors of this Chinle Southwestern style kilim create not only a visually compelling piece but also a narrative woven with cultural significance. This woven wonder is a testament to the skill and tradition of Southwestern style weavers, blending beauty with profound symbolic meaning tied to land, life, and legacy. Rendered in variegated shades of black, brown, orange, beige, and dark green with other accent colors. Chinle. Southwestern style Kilim. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in America.
