Handwoven Kilims - Masterpieces of Traditional Geometric Patterns

Product description and features

This elegant kilim is woven using the traditional plain weave technique passed down through generations of Middle Eastern nomads. The intricate geometric patterns unfold around a powerful diamond medallion in the center, making it a truly exquisite piece worthy of being called a masterpiece of textile art.

The most distinctive feature of this kilim is the meticulous harmony and symmetry of its colors, with the following beautiful color scheme centered around the crimson medallion:

Central medallion: A deep crimson red with an intricate geometric pattern in turquoise, cream, and dark navy. Cross and diamond motifs are layered, revealing different expressions depending on the angle from which they are viewed.

Border Design:

Inner border: Turquoise with golden yellow diamonds

Outer border: alternating coral pink and dark green sawtooth pattern

The precision of the weave is astounding. The high density of the weave, approximately 8-10 knots per inch, ensures extremely sharp boundaries even in complex geometric patterns. This technical perfection is a testament to the years of experience and exceptional skill of our skilled artisans.

The hand-spun yarn is made from natural wool and dyed with natural plant-based dyes, which allow the color to deepen over time. The rich colors produced by traditional dyes such as madder, indigo, turmeric, and pomegranate peel have a warmth and depth that cannot be achieved with chemical dyes.
