About the Item

78637 Antique Two Grey Hills Style Southwestern Kilim Rug, 02'11 x 05'00. Woven with rhythmic precision and deep reverence for the design traditions of the American Southwest, this antique Southwestern-style rug evokes the refined geometry and meditative spirit associated with classic regional weaving aesthetics. The central cruciform medallion, flanked by angular lightning brackets and tessellated motifs, rises from a structured field of stepped forms and compartmental symmetry—echoes of a cosmology expressed through balance, harmony, and abstraction. Rendered in a natural palette of undyed wool, the piece showcases a spectrum of tones from soft beige and camel to storm gray and coal black—colors that resonate with the earthen beauty of the desert landscape. The layout reflects a disciplined and intentional structure, where repetition offers rhythm and symmetry brings visual order. Angular corner hooks, squared stair-step elements, and divided rectangles are woven with mathematical clarity and human instinct, each line carefully placed to guide the eye inward. A flowing meander border encircles the composition, its squared spirals suggesting continuity and symbolic protection—motifs often seen in enduring textile traditions of the region, connected to ceremonial pathways or ancient petroglyph designs. Dating from the early 20th century, this antique kilim rug reflects the high level of craftsmanship cultivated in Southwestern weaving communities during a period shaped by both tradition and trading post influence. The use of finely handspun wool, undyed and naturally blended, results in a textile of impressive weight and flexibility. These types of weavings often emphasized muted, earth-based tones and structural balance over ornamentation, favoring a quiet elegance rooted in the landscape itself. This early Southwestern-style weaving is more than a functional textile; it is a reflection of artistic philosophy and regional heritage. With its harmonious proportions and refined detail, it offers a grounded sense of permanence and purpose. Whether displayed on a wall or used in a living space, it remains a powerful visual composition—a woven meditation on symmetry, serenity, and the enduring connection between design and place. Rendered in variegated shades of gray, beige, black, taupe, and brown with other neutral colors. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in America. Measures: 02'11 x 05'00. Date: 1920's. Early 20th Century.
