≈ 190 × 128 cm
One medallion at the center — and it doesn't ask permission. Concentric zigzags exploding outward in purple, orange, cream and grey, surrounding an eye at the heart of it all — watching, protecting, holding the whole composition together. Above and below, small cicim diamonds float like afterthoughts. Between everything, a black and white wave that runs from edge to edge.
This kilim fills a room before you've even unrolled it.
Handcrafted in Balıkesir (Turkey)
Vintage — mid-20th century, Anatolian weaving at its most expressive
Naturally dyed in warm grey and aged charcoal — the quiet underneath everything
Vibrant synthetic dyes in electric purple, burnt orange, deep burgundy and black — mid-20th century Anatolian weaving at its most fearless
Woven in the cicim technique — additional weft threads floating above the surface in the decorative bands
One of a kind — never repeated, never mass-produced
High-quality wool, built to last generations
A fearless, joyful piece, ready to find its next home.
Dominating motif: Nazarlık (Evil Eye) — at the heart of a large central medallion, an eye watches outward through concentric zigzag rings of purple, orange and cream. One of the oldest protective symbols in Anatolian culture, woven here at the center of everything — a guardian hiding in plain sight.
