This is a modern kilim from northern India, made of wool on a cotton base. Its beautiful use of red and white gives it a fresh, clear character. A continuous red lattice runs across the off-white ground, forming large, softly stepped diamond shapes with smaller four-lobed forms between them. The repeating pattern creates a lovely rhythm, and the absence of a separate border keeps the design open and uncluttered.
The contrast is what makes this piece so appealing. The red brings colour and definition, while the generous areas of white give the pattern room to breathe. It is a simple but very effective design that can bring interest to an interior without making the space feel busy.
