≈ 202 × 114 cm
Time has touched this kilim and left it more beautiful than it found it. Stripes of abrash — rose deepening to burgundy, sage shifting to grey — carry two dark medallion fields where stars and hooked forms float like memories half-remembered. At the hem, hand-knotted fransen that took as long to make as some kilims take to weave.
This is what a hundred years looks like on wool.
Handcrafted in Sivas (Turkey)
Antique — late 19th century, carrying a century of light and use
Naturally dyed in aged rose, burnt orange and slate blue-green — colors worn luminous by time
Warm undyed natural wool throughout — honest to its core
Woven in the cicim technique with hand-knotted fransen — a level of craft rarely seen
One of a kind — never repeated, never mass-produced
Fine, aged wool — a living document of Anatolian textile tradition
A piece of rare beauty, ready to find its next home.
Dominating motif: Yıldız (Star) — four-pointed star forms float at the center of two large medallion fields, each one woven in the cicim technique with a precision that speaks of long tradition. Surrounded by elibelinde-inspired hooks and small gül medallions, the stars anchor a composition held together by light, time and abrash.
