Expanse, Rhythm and Female Symbolism
This hand-woven vintage kilim originates from the Uşak region in Western Anatolia – an area known for its fine carpets for centuries. Made in the 1960s, this piece tells a story of inner order, creative power, and the beauty of balance.
At its center are large, rhythmically arranged diamonds – powerful carriers of protection and clarity. Framed by a pulsating zigzag pattern, the kilim evokes movement, permeability, and the constant flow of life.
Kilim Symbols & Their Meaning
A rich symbolic language is revealed in the details:
- Küpe (Earring): A sign of love, femininity, and harmonious relationships
- Yıldız (Star): A good luck charm, guidance, and light in dark times
- Göz (Eye): A protective symbol against negative influences – clarity and perception
- Elibelinde: Symbol of female creative power – upright, strong, giving
- Tarak (Comb): Expression of creativity and inner order
- Su Yolu (Waterway): A symbol of transformation, vitality, and the bigger picture
These motifs merge into a carpet like a prayer – powerful, loving, wise.
Vibrant Colors
The color composition appears painted from nature: sage green, indigo blue, lavender, terracotta, apricot, and delicate vanilla white blend into a soft, harmonious mosaic. Particularly striking are the gentle abrash gradients, which give the kilim a lively depth and calm dynamism.
For Rooms with Expanse & Connection
With its generous length, this kilim is excellently suited for hallways, open living areas, or along a long table. It connects spaces – visually and atmospherically – and brings warmth, structure, and symbolism into your home.
Gently Restored & Sun-Cleaned
Like all our pieces, this kilim has been carefully restored and cleaned with olive soap and sunlight. Its history remains palpable – and opens itself to new spaces.
A kilim from Wild Heart Free Soul is like a prayer underfoot.
It carries the essence within – the gentle, the enduring,
and the memory of beauty, origin, and the return to yourself.

Vintage one-of-a-kind
Our vintage kilims come from various regions of Anatolia in Turkey. They were handcrafted on traditional looms and bear the personal signature of the people who wove them.
Weaving techniques, patterns, and colors vary depending on the region and the piece. Each textile combines traditional craftsmanship with individual design—a diversity from which we personally curate our collection.
Everyday use
Vacuum regularly and carefully using low suction and no rotating brush. Avoid the fringes. A suitable rug pad provides stability 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 stain removers and home remedies.
Cleaning
A thorough cleaning should be carried out by a professional specializing in hand-woven kilims. Do not machine wash or steam clean.
