MUT Vintage Kilim 120x77cm
Woven Memory from Anatolia
This hand-woven vintage kilim is unique – born from the quiet strength of Anatolian women who translated their world into patterns. Made from 100% hand-spun sheep's wool (partially combined with cotton or goat hair), each rug carries its own story – of protection, beauty, and connection.
Kilim Symbols & Their Meanings
The patterns and motifs in our kilims come from a centuries-old language of symbols, deeply rooted in Anatolian culture. Common symbols include:
- Göz (Eye): Protection, clarity, warding off evil
- Su Yolu (Watercourse): Flow of life, change, renewal
- Elibelinde: Female power, fertility, sincerity
- Kurt Ağızı: Vigilance, protection from all directions
- Küpe: Love, harmonious relationships
- Bukağı: Responsibility, family cohesion
These symbols make the rug a silent bearer of meaning – palpable for all who inhabit it.
Color World & Texture
Our kilims feature a natural, warm color palette – from terracotta to sand, from indigo to pistachio green. Fine abrash gradients lend depth and vibrancy, while the flat, hand-woven structure reveals a pleasant feel and archaic beauty.
Spatial Effect & Use
Whether as a central statement in the living room, a quiet island in the bedroom, or as wall art – a vintage kilim brings more than just style: It brings atmosphere, history, and a noticeable grounding to your space.
Gently Restored & Cared For
Like all pieces at Wild Heart Free Soul, this kilim has been carefully cleaned – with olive soap, water, and sunlight – and, where necessary, gently restored. This preserves its soul while making it ready for new journeys.
A kilim from Wild Heart Free Soul is more than just a rug.
It is a piece of woven memory – warm, meaningful, and full of quiet strength.
A home for your feet. And for your heart.

Anatolian kilims are far more than textile utility items – they are woven memories, personal messages, and an expression of living culture. [...] Each kilim is restored with time, care, and respect. [...]
A kilim from Wild Heart Free Soul is not a product.
It is a legacy. A woven wish.
And perhaps a companion for your home of tomorrow.
A Kilim is a durable companion – if treated with love and cared for attentively, it can last for many more generations. It doesn't require elaborate care, but above all, the right kind of care.
We recommend gently vacuuming or beating the Kilim once or twice a month to remove dust and dirt. Please do not use a rotating vacuum cleaner for this, but ideally a brush attachment or a gentle handheld device. Too frequent, intense vacuuming can cause the fibres to wear out over time.
Every few months, it's worth turning the Kilim over and vacuuming the back as well. If you lightly rotate the rug once a year, you ensure even wear and maintain the balance in the weave.
For basic cleaning, we recommend professional hand washing every 3 to 5 years – with pH-neutral shampoo or olive soap, gently worked in by hand and thoroughly rinsed. Please never put your Kilim in dry or steam cleaning – this would damage the fibres. If you need assistance in choosing a suitable cleaner, we are happy to advise you. We work with experienced oriental rug specialists and are happy to pass on our special conditions.
And if an accident does happen: Dab fresh stains immediately with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, gently dab with a little olive soap and a slightly damp cloth – without rubbing, without soaking. For stubborn dirt, please consult a specialist directly. Liquid that spreads along the fibres can become permanently trapped, especially in flat weaves.
Dried food residues can usually be carefully scraped or brushed off – preferably with a steady hand and without haste.
