Vintage Kilim Usak 262x82cm
This original vintage kilim was handwoven by a nomad woman in Anatolia in the second half of the 20th century. It is made of hand-spun, naturally dyed sheep's wool. Before she began weaving, the weaver sheared her sheep, cleaned, combed and spun the wool to get the best yarn for her kilim. After she spun the wool, she dyed it with natural pigments in an elaborate process. This whole process could take a year or even longer.
This woven work of art is unique and was made for personal use. Nomads and farmers used their kilim as a floor covering, as a tent or wall hanging, as a blanket or transport bag. The patterns and symbols on kilim always have a special meaning. Mostly they stand for protection, blessing, wealth or the unity of lovers.
All Wild Heart Free Soul kilims are cleaned in a natural way and professionally restored under our guidance and control. We guarantee authenticity, high quality and fair trade.
