Hand-woven Kilim - A Masterpiece of Traditional Geometric Patterns

Product Description & Features

This dignified kilim is woven using traditional flat-weave techniques passed down through generations by nomadic peoples of the Middle East. With a powerful diamond medallion at its center, surrounded by an intricate display of geometric patterns, this piece is truly worthy of being called a masterpiece of textile art.

The most striking feature of this kilim is its meticulously balanced color harmony and symmetry. Centered around a deep crimson medallion, it boasts the following beautiful color scheme:

Central Medallion: Based on deep crimson red, intricately woven with geometric patterns in turquoise blue, cream, and dark navy. Cross and diamond motifs are layered, revealing different expressions depending on the viewing angle.

Border Design:

Inner Border: Turquoise blue ground with continuous golden yellow diamond patterns

Outer Border: Alternating coral pink and dark green serrated patterns

The precision of the weave is impressive. With a high-density weave of approximately 8-10 knots per inch, the complex geometric patterns are expressed with extremely sharp boundaries. This technical perfection is a testament to the years of experience and outstanding skill of master artisans.

Made with hand-spun yarn from natural wool and dyed with plant-derived natural dyes, the colors will deepen over time. The rich colors created by traditional dyes such as madder, indigo, turmeric, and pomegranate peel possess a warmth and depth that cannot be expressed by chemical dyes.
