Antique Turkish Red and Blue Multi-Color Wool Kilim Rug by Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Originating from Turkey between 1900-1920, this antique geometric wool Kilim rug features a distinct combination of both iconic and seldom-seen Turkish symbols. Flat-woven in high-quality wool, the alternating rows of burgundy red and navy blue with pale green and vibrant orange eye motifs (protective symbols for warding off evil) are finely woven in between an uncommon Turkish symbol representing a wolf’s mouth, though they bear resemblance to the elibelinde symbol for maternity and fertility as well. Paired with the bright hooking ‘s’ motifs symbolizing a weaver’s tools, the tone of protection and warding danger permeates this rug’s tribal, cultural significance, and rich history. Additionally unique to this piece among similar tribal antiques is the forward-thinking, highly stylized white and black outlines surrounding the dominant motifs in a very fluid, particular motion seldom seen with such symmetry in these ancestral pieces.
