[Hand-woven kilim] Beautiful runner type kilim with traditional menorah motif

This elegant kilim runner was created by nomadic expert weavers living in the mountains of northwestern Iran using traditional plain weaving techniques that have been passed down through generations. It is a masterpiece of high artistic value, with religious and cultural motifs centered around the menorah (seven-branched candlestick) woven into the beautiful green color of a deep forest.

Product description/features

The most distinctive feature of this kilim is the golden menorah motif placed in the center. The seven-branched candlestick has been a symbol of light, wisdom, and divine power since ancient times. This motif, repeated over four levels, expresses eternity and harmony.

Color composition and design features:

Base color: Deep forest green unifies the whole, creating a calm and elegant impression.

Main Motif: A menorah in shining gold and orange is placed majestically in the center of each tier.

Side Motif: A flame-like decorative pattern woven in orange-red and red wraps around the menorah on both sides.

Accent color: Small motifs in white and cream give the overall rhythm and balance the colors.

Technical features:

As you can see in the first image, this kilim is woven with incredible detail. The high-density weaving, in which the boundaries between different colored threads are extremely clear and even small motifs are precisely expressed, is a testament to the skill of skilled craftsmen. Kilim's unique plain weaving technique allows you to enjoy beautiful designs on both the front and back sides.

The dyes used are all extracted from natural plants. The deep colors produced by dozens of plants such as madder, turmeric, indigo, and walnut skin change more beautifully over time, creating a history with the user.
