Eşme Kilim
Kilim mid-20th century from west of Turkey
Exceptional size
Kilim rugs from the Eşme region are woven with medium wools and the warps are often cotton. These kilims are usually decorated with hexagonal medallions surrounded by small filling or tree-of-life motifs. The colors used are generally quite bright and have faded over time. Eşme kilims are always woven in one piece.
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.
