Vintage Handmade Bulgarian Thracian Kilim Flat Weave Rug c. Early 20th Century

About the Item

Vibrant and folkloric, this early 20th-century handmade Bulgarian Thracian kilim is a joyful celebration of color and tradition. Woven in a striking flat weave construction, the piece features rows of stylized tree-of-life motifs set against a saturated red ground, framed by a dramatic border of serrated medallions in bright tones of orange, pink, plum, and ochre. The strong geometric rhythm and high-contrast palette are characteristic of Thracian regional weaving, reflecting centuries of cultural storytelling through textile artistry. The kilim’s generous proportions and symmetrical composition make it an ideal choice for a long hallway, open living area, or layered bohemian interior. Despite its age, the rug presents beautifully, with minor fold lines and some signs of gentle wear consistent with use (see photos), adding to its authentic vintage appeal. Whether you’re drawn to folk art, Eastern European craft, or simply love bold textiles, this piece brings a cheerful sense of heritage and handmade charm to any space. This rug pairs effortlessly with modern bohemian, maximalist, and even minimalist spaces—offering a jolt of color and folk charm that enlivens any interior. This rug comes from the private collection of a prominent antique rug dealer based in Amherst, Massachusetts, known for curating fine Persian and Oriental carpets over several decades.
