A resplendent 80-year-old kilim from the historic Kars province of Turkey, this vintage textile is crafted in the ancestral wool-on-wool tradition, imbued with madder-dyed tones that conjure the richness of soil and bloom. Conceived as part of a bridal trousseau, it carries the ineffable tenderness of generational devotion, with each strand serving as an elegy to ancestral rites and intimate aspirations. One face, sun-softened and luminously attenuated by the long caress of time, whispers of lived history and ephemeral light, while its obverse retains the undiminished chromatic fervor of its genesis; a chiaroscuro of memory and inception. Woven into its warp and weft are the archaic emblems of combs, fetters, hooks, and embilinde; each an apotropaic invocation, calling forth fertility, sanctuary, and plenitude upon the newly budding household. Its patina is glorious, a burnished testament to time’s alchemy; bestowing gravitas, nuance, and ineffable allure. More than a textile, it is a reliquary of intent and artistry; a silent, ceaseless murmur of lore and love woven into permanence. This heirloom rug brings the air of bespoke charm to modern interiors with its arresting geometry and a palette that commands with an unwavering voice.
Colour palette: lavender, plum, raspberry, cherry red, aubergine, muted sage, periwinkle blue, chocolate brown, cream, black and pumpkin orange.
This nearly antique rug is in well-preserved condition with the character of a well loved life.
