This Aksaray Antique Kilim (SKU: K23733) is a handwoven old kilim crafted in the Aksaray region of Turkey. Measuring 108cm x 190cm, it is made of 100% wool.
Design and Character: This kilim features a mihrab (the niche in a mosque indicating the direction of Mecca) design in the field, with leaf and grapevine motifs woven into the border. The field displays a sophisticated palette of colors including grape wine tones, khaki and moss green, a distinctive deep red with both richness and brightness, and dark gray. These hues have mellowed beautifully with age, creating a unique atmospheric quality.
Materials and Technique: Crafted from high-quality wool using exceptionally fine weaving techniques. Like a finely-knitted premium textile, it features delicate, thin construction with a strong, durable weave that offers a smooth texture and has developed a supple, lustrous character. The characteristic kilim slits add to its lightweight quality.
Cultural Heritage: Kilims from the Aksaray region deeply reflect the traditions and culture of the area. The mihrab design and leaf and grapevine motifs symbolize religious and natural elements, expressing the weaver's faith and way of life.
Condition: As an antique kilim, it bears the patina of age, yet maintains excellent overall condition. With proper care, you can enjoy its beauty for years to come.
Uses: Perfect as an accent rug in living rooms or bedrooms, or displayed as a wall hanging. Its distinctive design and color palette bring warmth and character to any space.
