1950's Turkish Angora Wool Carpet with Modern Style

About the Item

53837 Vintage Turkish Angora Wool Kilim Blanket Rug, 04'08 x 06'08. Woven in the remote highlands of Eastern Anatolia, this handwoven Turkish Angora kilim rug is a lyrical composition of texture, contrast, and ancestral rhythm. The soft, creamy-beige ground—woven from the downy fleece of the Angora goat—glows with a quiet luminosity, as if dusted with the golden light of dawn across snow-covered plains. It is a foundation both serene and sensuous, grounding the more dramatic elements of the rug’s bold design. Across this pale expanse, five bands of dark, richly striped patterning create a dramatic interplay of shadow and form. These horizontal motifs—alternating in black, walnut brown, and umber—are rendered with a shaggy texture that evokes the long, untamed locks of the goats themselves. Their presence is both graphic and tactile, a testament to the weaver’s ability to transform raw fiber into visual music. The alternating rows pulse with tribal cadence, suggesting the beat of hooves, the echo of footsteps, or the lines of a shepherd’s song. The composition is one of balance and breathing space—each band of intensity is followed by a stretch of calm, creating a visual rhythm that feels both ancient and modern. The design recalls the traditional Siirt battaniyesi (Siirt blanket), long revered in Anatolia for its insulating warmth and luxurious sheen, prized in both homes and dowries. Yet this kilim, with its masterful restraint and elevated contrast, transcends mere function, becoming instead a piece of living sculpture. This Angora kilim is a woven memory of place—a map not of roads, but of textures, sounds, and silences. It carries the breath of goat herders, the hush of wind through narrow canyons, and the echo of looms singing in the dark. To touch it is to brush against tradition; to live with it is to honor a legacy shaped by earth, animal, and artisan. Abrash. Siirt Blanket Rug Hand-woven angora wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 04'08 x 06'08. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.

Located in Dallas, TX
53847 Vintage Turkish Angora Wool Kilim Blanket Rug, 05'03 x 06'07. This handwoven Turkish Angora kilim rug carries the quiet pulse of Anatolia’s mountains, rendered in the rhythmic breath of shadow and light. Across its entire expanse, soft mohair stripes alternate in black coffee and beige— like echoes of wind-blown grass, the furrows of a plowed field, or the lines of a shepherd’s song drifting across stone. Woven with the fleece of native Angora goats, the surface is downy and radiant, shifting like silk under the touch of sun. The striped pattern, though minimal in palette, hums with movement and variation. Its lines are not rigid, but gently swaying—suggesting motion, like ripples across water or the grain of weathered wood. Within this subtle asymmetry, one finds the language of handwork and heritage. It is the irregular perfection of the loom guided by instinct and memory, not machinery—where each pass of the weft carries the breath of the weaver and the pace of a life rooted in land. Bound top and bottom by deeper bands of black coffee, the Turkish angora rug...
