Geometric Kilim Rug in Black with Stripes and Border, 1970s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

The straight stripes of this Kilim organize and structure the pattern. br /> The embellished edging (border) forms a beautiful contrast to the center and creates a transition at the edge of the rug. The abstract, geometric composition creates the simple elegance of this Kilim. The pattern flatters the design of the room and does not take the attention away from its furniture, decoration and architectural elements. It creates a pleasant atmosphere without dominating the style of the room. The background of this Kilim is black. The border features black and beige. You are not the first to appreciate this Kilim. It has had owners before you who have cherished and used it. It was hand woven about 1970. It has been thoroughly cleaned and only partially restored condition but is in good condition. We have not completely restored this Kilim because we think it is as it is effect. Kilims are hand-woven and are made of warp and weft threads only, i. e. they do not have a thick, upward pointing pile. Kilims have the same pattern on both sides and can, therefore, be used on both sides. The pattern is created by weaving colored weft threads into warp threads. For each new color a new thread must be used in each row. The thread ends are worked in as well. The weft threads of this kilim rug are made of hand-spun sheep's wool dyed with vegetable dyes. To produce the yarn for the weaving of the rug, sheep are shorn and their wool cleaned, combed and finally spun. After spinning, the wool of the Kilim rugs is dyed with natural dyes through a complex process. Because of this traditional process, the pile of kilim rugs appears dry and slightly fuzzy. The warp threads of this kilim are made of cotton.
