Vintage Mexican Zapotec Kilim 5'3" x 2'6"

This vibrant vintage Zapotec kilim is a striking handwoven textile inspired by the rich weaving traditions of the Zapotec people of Oaxaca, Mexico. Crafted in wool using traditional flatweave techniques, the piece features bold geometric medallions and rhythmic linear motifs arranged in a beautifully balanced tribal composition.

The vivid palette of crimson, coral, burgundy, and soft pink tones gives the textile exceptional warmth and visual energy. Repeating diamond motifs, stepped patterns, and intricate horizontal bands reflect the symbolic geometric language characteristic of Zapotec weaving traditions, blending indigenous artistry with timeless modern appeal.

Handwoven on traditional looms, Zapotec textiles are admired for their durability, craftsmanship, and naturally expressive designs. The elongated format and symmetrical arrangement make this kilim especially versatile as a floor runner, wall hanging, or decorative accent in bohemian, Southwestern, and globally inspired interiors.

With its bold tribal geometry, rich handcrafted texture, and radiant colour palette, this vintage Zapotec kilim embodies the enduring beauty and cultural heritage of Latin American weaving traditions.
