Kilim mid-20th century, from the south of Turkey
Soft colors
Kilims rug from the Antalya region are woven from thick wools, sometimes with cotton warps.
Their geometric motifs are arranged in rows of interlocking hexagonal medallions. These carpets do not always have a side border. When they do, it's a very small "raked" border.
The colors used in this region are very varied and bright, and have powdered over time.
Weaving: Women learned the art of kilim weaving from their mothers or grandmothers.
Kilims were woven by hand, using hand-spun wool, which they dyed as they went along.
Patterns and colors: Each region had its own way of spinning wool, its own patterns and its own palette of colors.
These antique kilims were intended for domestic use.
They were woven without drawing boards, which adds a real personal touch and makes them unique pieces.
Their beauty depends on the way the weaver has interpreted the motifs and combined the colors.
That's why we choose our kilims one by one, to select only the most beautiful.
