About the Item
79135 Antique Two Grey Hills-Inspired Southwestern Flatweave Early 20th Century Elegance in Handspun Wool, 04'05 x 07'01. A paragon of early 20th-century Southwestern textile artistry, this exceptional handwoven wool kilim evokes the renowned aesthetic of the Two Grey Hills weaving tradition—revered for its disciplined geometry, subdued elegance, and tonal mastery. Rendered in undyed natural wool, the piece is an homage to the original design ethos of the American Southwest, where landscape, heritage, and geometry converge. At its core, a signature stepped-diamond medallion commands attention, radiating strength and symmetry. Angular motifs branch outward in rhythmic procession, carefully choreographed to echo the harmonious cycles of land and sky.
This exclusive work of art is notable for its exquisite restraint—a luxury rooted not in flamboyance but in refinement. The chromatic palette of charcoal, cream, soft fawn, and sun-bleached gray is achieved entirely through precious wool, spun by hand and woven with precision. Without the intervention of synthetic dyes, the minimalist color gradation feels organic, timeless, and intimately tied to the terrain from which it arose. Each step-like contour and jagged arrow form nods to elemental symbolism: mountains, lightning, rainfall, and sacred pathways through arid landscapes.
The framing border—constructed with a dance of serrated motifs—acts as both enclosure and invocation. It not only protects the central design but invokes a quiet power, a geometric aura that reinforces the sacred nature of the symmetrical field. In the cultural language of Southwestern weaving traditions, such forms whisper stories of resilience, reverence, and connection to land. Each line is both boundary and bridge—between heritage and modernity, between utility and elevated art.
Perfect for interiors seeking a balance of understated luxury and historical depth, this extraordinary masterpiece adapts effortlessly to a range of curated environments. Whether anchoring a Modern Santa Fe retreat, gracing the walls of an Aspen lodge, or adding depth to a New York art loft, this rare textile transcends trend. It is more than décor—it is a woven meditation on balance, heritage, and handmade excellence. A timeless acquisition for the connoisseur who values both narrative and nuance, and a piece that affirms beauty rooted in authenticity and care.
