Hand-woven kilims - traditional geometric works of art

Product description/Explanation of features

These authentic hand-woven kilims are carefully finished by skilled craftsmen in the Anatolian region of eastern Turkey using plain weaving techniques that have been passed down since ancient times. It is a masterpiece that can be called a ``textile jewel'', with traditional geometric patterns and rich color expressions woven into an easy-to-use size.

The most distinctive feature of this kilim is the powerful red diamond motif that runs through the center, and the exquisite harmony of the colorful decorative panels that surround it.

central design

A continuous pattern of three large diamond shapes painted in a deep crimson red is arranged along the vertical axis. Inside each rhombus, a turquoise diamond motif is placed symmetrically, creating a striking visual effect with the contrast of red and blue.

Peripheral decorative field

The olive green field surrounding the central red diamond is inlaid with traditional tribal motifs rendered in yellow ocher. These small geometric patterns are stylized ancient symbols of constellations, animals and plants, representing a nomadic lifestyle and view of nature.

border design

The border around the area consists of a red zigzag pattern on a dark blue background at the top and bottom, and coral pink wavy decorations on the left and right sides. This asymmetrical border design expresses the free and creative spirit of kilim weaving.

weaving techniques

As you can see from the detailed image on the back, this kilim is finished in an extremely dense plain weave. The technical prowess that allows for clear color boundaries and accurate representation of complex geometric patterns is a testament to the craftsmanship that has been passed down over several generations.

The dyes used are traditional natural vegetable dyes. The deep colors created by nature's blessings, such as red obtained from madder root, blue extracted from indigo leaves, and yellow made from pomegranate peel, change more beautifully over time and carve a history with the user.
