Woven Symbolism from Usak
This hand-woven vintage kilim originates from the Usak region in the heart of Anatolia – crafted in the 1960s, from 100% hand-spun sheep's wool and interwoven with signs that tell stories. Each pattern is the expression of a woman who, with every knot, created protection, beauty, and meaning for her home.
Kilim Symbols & Their Meaning
Its pattern conceals a language of symbols – each a woven wish, each shape a silent companion:
- Elibelinde: Female power, uprightness, creative energy
- Göz: Protective symbol against evil, clarity, perception
- Küpe: Love, emotional connection
- Bukağı: Bond, responsibility, family connection
- Yıldız: Star, orientation, luck, light in dark times
- Tarak: Comb, care, nurturing, and female presence
- Çengel: Double hook, connection of opposites, protection
Color World
A powerful mosaic of rust red, sage green, black-brown and blue-gray – connected by delicate abrash transitions that create depth and movement. The plant-dyed wool creates a vibrant, gently shimmering play of colors that gives soul to any room.
For Rooms with Character
With its generous dimensions of 229 × 162 cm, this kilim is ideal as the centerpiece of a living room, a tranquil focal point in the bedroom, or a structuring element in a studio. It brings symbolic depth to both minimalist and eclectic spaces.
Gently Restored & Sun-Cleaned
Like all our pieces, this kilim has been carefully restored and cleaned with olive soap and sunlight – thus its history remains palpable while it is ready for a new home.
A kilim from Wild Heart Free Soul is like a prayer underfoot.
It carries the essential within – the gentle, the enduring,
and the memory of beauty, origin, and returning to yourself.

Our vintage kilims come from various regions of Anatolia in Turkey. They were handcrafted on traditional looms and bear the personal signature of their weavers.
Weaving technique, pattern, and color vary depending on the region and the individual piece. Traditional craftsmanship and individual design combine in these textiles. This diversity defines the Wild Heart Free Soul collection.
Everyday use
Vacuum regularly and carefully using low suction power and without the rotating brush. Avoid the fringes. A suitable rug pad provides stability and protects the weave. Protect from constant direct sunlight.
For stains
Blot spilled liquids immediately with a clean, white cotton cloth. Do not rub or soak. Please consult with us regarding any further stain treatment and avoid using stain removers or home remedies.
Cleaning
Thorough cleaning should be carried out by a specialist company experienced in hand-woven kilims. Do not machine wash or steam clean.
We are happy to assist you with professional cleaning and any questions regarding care.
