Vintage Turkish Kilim | 2'6 x 8' Yuntdag Rug
Colors: wine red, olive, antique white, fucshia, light blue
This lovely example of Turkish Folk Art has withstood the test of time so well, it's hard to believe it was created in the Mid 20th Century. The color pallet is offset by crisp white contrasts amongst a field of brick and ruby red, slate blue/gray, and lively lime green, with hints of bubblegum pink, burnt orange, and deep pink throughout. While many kilims are woven today for the commercial market, the same is not true of older kilim pieces. Until about 1975, the rug world was just not interested in kilims. Times have certainly changed! Kilims have made their way into the decor of the world, from palaces in the French countryside to the mountains of Colorado.
