Treasured for their awe-inspiring weaving technique, this tribal and striking vintage flat weave Kilim is bold and beautiful, featuring geometric art and powerful symbolism throughout. Woven in the Caucasus Mountains north of Persia, the yarn is looped horizontally around successive pairs of warps between passes of over-under wefting. This process lends itself to the detailed weft-wrapped weaving technique known as Soumak. This vintage piece, from the mid-20th century, is in excellent condition, with large-scale medallions and diamond shapes featuring brilliant and vibrant dyes. It's an excellent choice for those who love nomadic rugs from this region with tribal art, as it offers a larger-than-normal size, since Caucasian rugs were typically woven on small looms.
It not only can make a floor covering, but it can be used as a large wall hanging or an amazing bed spread!
Exact size: 7'3 x 13'3
Since this is a wool on wool foundation that has a floppy and flexible handle, you may want to consider a rug pad that we can custom cut to size for this rug to keep it nicely snug and protected. https://www.shopblueparakeetrugs.com/collections/rug-pads/products/large-rug-pad
