This is a vintage Turkish Cecim Kilim, masterfully handwoven in wool, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of Anatolian tribal weaving. The design features a dense field of diamond-shaped medallions, each filled with traditional hooked motifs known as elibelinde, symbolising fertility and protection.

The colour palette is rich and warm, with alternating shades of burnt orange, crimson, olive green, ivory, and deep plum, all outlined in black to enhance their geometric structure. The borders are adorned with classic Turkish motifs, and one edge is finished with a thick band of red and a woven band of small repeating motifs, while the opposite side bears a slightly fringed end, adding rustic charm.

This Cecim Kilim is a stunning example of flatweave tapestry with brocaded overlay. It embodies both visual rhythm and cultural heritage and is ideal as a wall hanging, accent textile, or collector’s piece.

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, vintage kilim may display slight variations.
