Vintage Textural Modernist Kilim Rug
A rare and unusual room-size wool flat-weave, most probably commissioned for the European market during the post-war years, distinguished by a textural interlace of wool threads in neutral shades alternated to touches of burgundy red wool. The end result is a highly abstract composition that is pure texture in a neutral yet present colour palette. It unites the European sensibility for colour together with Near Eastern capability of creating an harmonic mixture of threads which, once combined, result in an unparalleled symphony of colours and patterns.
This gorgeous kilim is the ideal complement to many of today’s Modernist interiors, fitting perfectly the need for a rug that states its presence yet doesn’t dominate the room. The sturdy texture makes it also an ideal candidate for high-traffic spaces without having to resort to a pile rug.
