This beautiful Turkish kilim was woven in a village around the 1980s, using fine handspun wool and natural dyes. It comes from a period when efforts were being made to revive these age-old traditions, bringing renewed attention to the quality of handspun wool and the beauty of natural colours.
The result was kilims like this, fascinating in their colours and simple patterns. Here, a bold central diamond and angular motifs are brought to life by rich red and blue, with touches of ivory, green and pale blue. The clarity of the pattern gives each colour space to stand out.
It is woven in wool on a wool foundation, a beautiful example of the village weaving traditions of Turkey.
