Turkish Wool Kilim Carpet

Red field, navy border, and a repeating hook that never loses its rhythm.

Weavers of eastern Turkey made this kilim in wool in the 20th century. Kilims are flatwoven textiles, commonly used as floor coverings, wall hangings and bedding across Anatolia. A deep red center, stepped at the edges, carries rows of stylized motifs in white, orange, brown and black. A broad navy border, with matching motifs, frames the field, and narrow striped edges close the sides. The wool has softened with wear, with slight fading in places.

A generous floor piece that anchors a plain room.
