ORIGIN: PERU

CIRCA: 1970s

MATERIAL: PURE WOOL

This unique vintage Peruvian Inca Tumi tapestry kilim is a rare and striking piece of Andean folk textile art, full of symbolism, heritage, and handmade character. Woven in a flatweave kilim technique, the central figure depicts a stylised ceremonial Tumi-inspired motif, an iconic sacred symbol of ancient Peru, presented in a bold, almost totemic form with geometric facial features, decorative headpiece, and traditional costume elements.

The soft, natural wool background is beautifully contrasted with earthy browns, warm sand tones, charcoal, and delicate accents of violet and dusty pink, giving the tapestry an authentic vintage feel while still looking modern and artistic. Surrounding the main figure are block panels filled with tribal patterns and stepped motifs, framed by a strong zigzag border that adds structure and rhythm to the composition.

Perfect as a wall hanging, statement textile, or collector’s decor piece, this vintage kilim brings cultural depth and storytelling into any space. Like all genuine handmade textiles, slight variations, gentle wear, and small imperfections are part of its charm, making it truly one of a kind.

Explore the artistry of our authentic vintage kilims and flatweave rugs. These pieces are carefully handwoven from the finest natural materials, including pure wool, silk, and cotton, resulting in exceptional works of art. Our kilims undergo professional cleaning to maintain their timeless allure and preserve their rich history.

Our specialist restoration workshops expertly secure these vintage art pieces, guaranteeing many more years of enjoyment. To enhance durability and longevity, we highly recommend using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your kilim in place on the floor, smooth out any shipping wrinkles, and protect it from deterioration.

Our product photography skillfully captures the natural colours of our one-of-a-kind products using gentle natural light, though the colours may appear different on different devices. Before shipping, every kilim undergoes a meticulous stretching process to ensure it arrives straight and flat. Due to its handmade nature, a vintage kilim may exhibit slight variations.
