One side of a two-panel antique kilim.
At first glance, you can sense the exceptional beauty of the original kilim.
The woven patterns are distinct and well-defined.
The browns, purples, and reds are all exquisitely colored, maintaining their vibrant character remarkably well.
By becoming a single-panel piece, the kilim's center has shifted from its original position.
A pristine white section now forms the center. This gives the kilim an entirely new character that the original never possessed.
The asymmetrical design expresses individuality, and its runner-like proportions open up new possibilities for how it can be used.
Fine kilims continue to live on for generations, becoming antique and eventually single-panel pieces, only to be born anew in this transformed state.
