{"product_id":"aydin-antique-kilim-k23407","title":"Aydin Antique Kilim","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nOur collection pieces are invariably works of exceptional artistry and craftsmanship, yet standing before this kilim, one cannot help but feel a profound sense of awe. How was it possible to create something so rich and meaningful more than a century ago? With what spirit and intention?\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is no commercial product made for sale, nor merely a utilitarian household item. It is a work that could only be completed through the power of the soul—through love, passion, and profound human spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe world unfolded across this two-dimensional surface of 118cm × 161cm is merely the tip of the iceberg of this kilim's true essence. To truly appreciate a kilim is to see it with your eyes, touch it with your hands, and feel its presence beside you.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis is an antique Aidın kilim believed to be over 100 years old.\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom western Anatolia near the Aegean Sea, these kilims are characterized by dense patterning throughout the field, with minimal empty space. This piece exemplifies that tradition, with vibrant motifs woven to fill every inch of the field. Each pattern is further subdivided with different colors, creating a remarkably colorful composition that maintains perfect overall harmony.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis sense of balance is far more apparent in person than in photographs—a truly magnificent work that deserves to be seen firsthand.\u003cbr\u003e\nThough bold colors are employed, the overall palette is warm and inviting, reminiscent of apricot tones, creating a beautifully unified whole. This youthful color composition is exceptionally rare.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe outer border features the Mother Goddess, while the center displays a Mihrab (prayer arch), indicating this was woven as a prayer mat for Islamic devotion.\u003cbr\u003e\nA kilim created for such a sacred purpose—for that special moment of prayer—must surely have held equally special significance for its weaver.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSKU：\u003c\/span\u003e K23407\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSize：\u003c\/span\u003e 118cm x 161cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eOrigin：\u003c\/span\u003e Turkey\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePeriod：\u003c\/span\u003e Antique Kilim\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMaterial：\u003c\/span\u003e Wool × Wool\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700799144232,"sku":"K23407","price":4970.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/K23407_cadc34de-8c4b-4bae-ac00-02ac7790f67c.jpg?v=1776124848","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/aydin-antique-kilim-k23407","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
