Design Elements

  • Geometric Patterns:
    • The rug prominently features diamond and rhombus shapes, which are common motifs in Turkish kilims.
    • These geometric forms symbolize the connection between the earth and the sky, reflecting harmony in nature.
  • Symmetry:
    • The arrangement of motifs shows symmetry and order, which conveys a sense of balance and stability.
  • Borders:
    • Narrow borders encapsulate the main design, preventing it from overwhelming the viewer and adding structure to the piece.

Colors

  • Earthy Tones:
    • The predominant colors include browns and muted shades, reflecting the earth and grounding the rug in a natural aesthetic.
  • Muted Pastels:
    • Larger motifs exhibit softer pastels like peach and pale green, adding warmth and gentle tones that enhance the overall ambiance.
    • These colors symbolize peace, comfort, and tranquility.
  • Contrasting Colors:
    • Stronger colors, such as purples, contrast the softer tones, adding visual interest and depth while symbolizing vibrancy and life.

Meaning and Symbolism of Main Motifs

  • Diamonds:
    • Diamonds often signify wealth and abundance, reflecting the prosperity of the household.
  • Rhombuses:
    • These shapes symbolize protection and defense, believed to ward off negative energies and bring luck.
  • Interconnected Lines:
    • Patterns that connect the motifs symbolize community, family ties, and unity.

Summary

This vintage kilim rug from the Afyon region of Turkey showcases beautiful geometric patterns and a serene color palette of earthy tones accented by pastel hues. The primary motifs, including diamonds and rhombuses, convey themes of prosperity, protection, and community, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and symbolism embedded in Turkish kilim designs. The balance and symmetry create an inviting ambiance, making the rug a timeless piece in any space.

The new kilims arrived safely yesterday. Many thanks for the flexibility in price and for the lovely pillow cases! I thought you might want to see the rugs in their new home...

I received the rug and love it. I was very impressed by the quality of the rug I received and by your service, and so I am recommending it to my friends. Thank you very much.

The kilim arrived yesterday and created a lot of excitement in the office. I followed your instructions and attached the kilim to a dowel rod with about 12 hoops of ribbon and hung it in my office this morning, and everyone thinks it's a beautiful addition to the office and a terrific conversation-starter. Your website and your service both exceeded my expectations, and I would be hard-pressed to think of any constructive criticism. I certainly passed your URL around the office and assured everyone that your stock was infinitely more varied than the two or three rug shops I visited in Boston and your prices more competitive. My French colleague who travels in the Middle East confirmed for everyone that one would have to travel to Turkey oneself to find a selection and price range better than yours. I think you have a very good business model.

Thanks. What a great way to shop for Kilims. A lot better and more trustworthy than taking a vacation to Turkey to shop for Kilims -one would need a trusted guide and much knowledge. This is fun, confidence-inspiring andI'm getting an education to boot. Eagerly awaiting receipt of my shipment.

We received the kilims- thanks for the prompt shipment. They are beautiful and our cats seem especially fond of them. I will recommend your company to others without hesitation.
