Vintage European Pirot Kilim 4' x 2'

SIZE: 4 X 2 FT.

ORIGIN: EUROPE

CIRCA: 1960s

MATERIAL: PURE WOOL

This is a vintage European Pirot kilim woven from pure wool. It originates from the Pirot region in southeastern Serbia, renowned for its flatweave textile tradition.

The design features a symmetrical layout with two large red diamond medallions on a bold black field. These central motifs are surrounded by smaller multicoloured geometric patterns, including hooked diamonds and star-like shapes, all set within a cream-toned border. The border is filled with repeating tribal motifs in shades of green, red, burgundy, grey, and orange, lending the rug a rhythmic and balanced appearance.

Woven in pure wool, the kilim exhibits a tight weave and rich natural dyes, enhancing its durability and vibrancy. The contrast between the deep black and vivid colours reflects traditional Balkan folk art, making it both a cultural artefact and a decorative textile.

This piece exemplifies the timeless craftsmanship of Pirot kilims, valued for their bold patterns, strong symbolism, and exceptional handwoven quality.

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, vintage kilim may display slight variations.
