Design Elements

  • Geometric Patterns: The rug features a series of symmetrical geometric shapes, predominantly diamonds and triangles. These shapes represent harmony and unity within the community, often regarded as protective symbols.
  • Borders: Thick borders frame the rug, which serves as a visual anchor and signifies stability. Its contrasting colors draw attention to the intricate center motifs.
  • Motif Arrangement: The repetition of the main motifs showcases rhythm and continuity, essential elements in traditional rug weaving that reflect cultural heritage.
  • Texture: Hand-knotted construction contributes to the rich texture, providing a tactile dimension that enhances both aesthetic appeal and durability.

Colors

  • Warm Terracottas: The predominant terracottas evoke warmth, energy, and passion. These colors often symbolize strength and vitality in tribal designs.
  • Earthy Tones: Shades of browns and muted yellows ground the vibrant colors, representing the natural environment and connecting the design to the earth.
  • Contrasting Creams: The occasional use of cream contrasts sharply with warm hues, symbolizing peace and clarity, which balances the rug's overall intensity.

Main Motifs and Their Symbolism

  • Diamond Motifs: Diamond shapes symbolize prosperity and abundance. Their presence in the design signifies a wish for wealth and good fortune in the home.
  • Triangle Patterns: Triangles often represent change and transitions. In a larger context, they signify the trinity, encompassing life, death, and rebirth.
  • Central Medallion: The central medallion, often the focal point in such rugs, represents the universe and serves as a personal protective charm, embellishing the home with blessings.
  • Intersecting Lines: Lines that intersect throughout symbolize connections among people and experiences, reflecting the interwoven stories of families and communities.

Summary

We are very proud to be the owners of this lovely work of art and are sure that it will become a treasured heirloom in years to come.

I also want to express our gratitude to Selin Damar who was very responsive to our email inquiries regarding the delivery of our rug. We were a little anxious about ordering an item from a foreign country through the email, but Selin Damar's prompt replies to our questions gave us peace of mind and we really appreciated it. In closing, I am happy to say that we would not hesitate to order from you company again in the future, and that we will recommend Kilim.com to others as well.

Thank you for making such a beautiful rug! We love it! We just need a few more little decor pieces and the room is complete! Thank you for working with such a detail-oriented person!!!

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.
