This vintage kilim was woven in 1998 by Tuba on the high plateau of Mut using sheep's wool and goat hair. Dusty rose, turquoise, and anthracite combine with vibrant color accents and a recurring Elibelinde motif. Its dense, robust Cicim weave and generous size of 315 × 191 cm are particularly well-suited for a living area with a sofa arrangement.
A note from Beyza Nur
"What I love about this kilim is the continuous Elibelinde motif and the raised texture of the Cicim weave. The fact that Tuba wove it in 1998 as part of one of the last nomadic communities in Anatolia using sheep's wool and goat hair makes it special to me."

This nomadic Cicim kilim comes from the high plateau of Mut in Anatolia. A weaver named Tuba wove it in 1998 from sheep's wool and goat hair into a dense, robust fabric.
Its recurring Elibelinde pattern is also called Kartal Kanat in the region: the shape is reminiscent of spread eagle wings.
Daily care
Vacuum regularly and carefully using low suction and without a rotating brush. Avoid the fringes. A suitable rug pad provides grip and protects the fabric. Protect from prolonged direct sunlight.
For stains
Blot up spilled liquids immediately with a clean, white cotton cloth. Do not rub or soak. Please consult us before 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.
