This exquisite Bolivian folk tapestry kilim, handwoven in wool and cotton, is a vibrant celebration of Andean culture and craftsmanship. The golden-yellow field serves as a luminous backdrop for an array of detailed, symbolic motifs from traditionally dressed figures in richly patterned garments to representations of village life, including houses, birds, plants, and geometric vessels. The upper section features castle-like battlements adorned with stylised human and animal faces. At the same time, the central scene depicts community life and agricultural abundance, framed by intricate borders in lavender, red, and orange. The bottom edge is finished with deep blue fringe, adding a striking contrast to the warm, vivid palette. This tapestry beautifully captures the storytelling tradition of Bolivian weaving, blending cultural heritage with bold artistic expression.

Explore the artistry of our authentic vintage kilims and flatweave rugs. These pieces are carefully handwoven using only the finest natural materials, such as pure wool, silk, and cotton, resulting in exceptional works of art. Our kilims undergo professional cleaning to maintain their timeless allure and ensure the preservation of 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 naturalistic colours of our one-of-a-kind products using gentle natural light, although the colours may appear different depending on your device. Before shipping, every kilim undergoes a meticulous stretching process to ensure it arrives straight and flat. Due to its unique and handmade nature, a vintage kilim may display slight variations.
