Vintage Turkish Kilim Carpet

About the Item

Taking months or even years to create, this handwoven kilim carpet is made of wool tinted with natural vegetable dyes, resulting in a beautiful palette of subdued colors that never feels artificial. Dated to the 1970s, the pileless carpet was woven using a slitweave technique and as a result, many of the color changes are separated by a small gap, or slit. This technique accounts for the carpet's bold, geometric design, as diagonal patterns prevent the carpet from becoming weakened by these vertical slits. Designed with a lively arrangement of diamonds, triangles, and crosses, this vintage carpet is a fantastic example of the kilim style and a beautiful addition to the home.

Antique Pomegranate Tree Samarkand Carpet, c. 1920s
Located in Chicago, IL
One of the most remote locations in Asia, the area known as East Turkestan was a pivotal stop along the Silk Road, uniting the cultures of India, Persia, and China.
