About the Item

Vintage Turkish Kilim Rug Size: 5'0" × 13'0" (152 × 396 cm) This striking 1930s vintage Turkish Kilim rug is a bold celebration of Anatolian folk artistry and tribal symbolism. Woven entirely by hand using flat-weave techniques, the rug exemplifies the vibrant aesthetics and deep cultural resonance of Turkish nomadic traditions. The composition is dominated by three large, stylized medallions arranged symmetrically along the length of the rug, each enclosed within a complex framework of stepped motifs and angular forms. These medallions are rendered in vivid hues of vermillion orange, crimson, magenta, plum, and purple, punctuated by accents of black, saffron, ivory, and blush pink. These dynamic colors are further enhanced by intricate geometric motifs such as stars, diamonds, hooked elements, and interlocking meanders, which symbolize protection, fertility, and continuity. A wide outer border frames the field with repeating motifs in soft taupe and terracotta tones, creating balance and grounding the lively central design. The slightly irregular outlines and color transitions reflect the genuine handmade nature of the rug, adding to its authenticity and charm. Woven from high-quality wool and dyed using natural pigments, this Kilim retains a rich texture and durable character. It’s not only a captivating decorative piece but also a historical artifact representing a vanishing way of life. Perfect for eclectic interiors, bohemian spaces, or as a conversation piece in a modern setting, this vintage Turkish Kilim rug is a masterful blend of art, history, and function. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
