Hand-woven Kilim Carpets - Traditional Geometric Patterns and Vivid Colors

Product description and features

This traditional kilim carpet, meticulously handwoven by Turkish nomadic weavers, features a deep navy blue central field with a vibrant geometric pattern in vibrant red and orange, gracefully framed by a pink-beige decorative border.

Design Features

Center field: A deep navy blue background features striking diamond-shaped medallions arranged symmetrically. Each medallion is colored in a gradient of red, orange, and yellow, and its interior is intricately woven with geometric motifs of tiny triangles and diamonds.

Border design: A regular, stepped pattern of navy, red, and orange is arranged on a pink-beige background. This jagged pattern is a traditional motif called "wolf's teeth," which has the meaning of warding off evil.

Weaving Technique: The dense weave seen in the image is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the artisans. The color boundaries are clear and even the smallest geometric patterns are accurately reproduced. The plain weave (kilim weave) is made from natural wool, making it lightweight yet durable.

Rich colors made with natural dyes

The vibrant colours used are all traditional plant dyes, using natural plant dyes such as madder root (red), saffron (yellow), indigo (blue) and walnut shells (brown) to create deep hues that change beautifully over time.
