About the Item

Capture the beauty and tradition of Mexican textile art with this vintage Serape Saltillo kilim rug, handwoven in Mexico in the late 20th century. This finely crafted piece features a soft cream or wheat-colored wool background, adorned with vibrant orange bird motifs that echo design influences found in both Navajo and Tibetan textiles.

The bird designs in orange and blue bring movement and life to the piece, enhancing its visual depth and cultural richness. Originating from Saltillo, a historic city in the northern Mexican state of Coahuila, these Serape kilims are known for their intricate weaving and symbolic designs.
