Vintage Kilim Rug 131x77cm

This original vintage kilim was hand-woven in Anatolia in the second half of the 20th century by a nomadic woman. It's made of hand-spun, naturally dyed sheep's wool. Before starting the weaving, the artist sheared her sheep, cleaned, combed, and spun the wool to get the best yarn for her kilim. After spinning the wool, she dyed it in a complex process with natural dyes. This entire process could take a year or even longer.

This woven piece of art is one-of-a-kind and was made for personal use. Nomads and farmers used their kilims as rugs on the floor, as tent or wall hangings, as covers, or transportation bags. The patterns and symbols on kilims always have special meanings. They stand for protection, blessings, abundance, or the unity of lovers.

All Wild Heart Free Soul kilims are cleaned naturally and professionally restored under our guidance and control. We guarantee authenticity, high quality, and fair trade.
