This antique woollen Macedonian Balkan kilim apron is a striking example of traditional Balkan folk dress. Handwoven in wool, it features narrow horizontal bands filled with geometric motifs in earthy tones of black, deep red, mustard yellow, and ivory. The dense rows of small, repeating patterns give it a rhythmic visual energy, while the long fringe around the sides and bottom adds both texture and movement. Traditionally worn as part of women’s ceremonial or festive attire, this kilim apron reflects the rich textile heritage and craftsmanship of the Macedonian Balkan region.
