Vintage Eastern European Kilim 3'9" X 1'3"

ORIGIN: BOSNIA

CIRCA: 1980s

MATERIAL: PURE WOOL

This is a charming woollen vintage Eastern European kilim from Bosnia, radiating traditional craftsmanship and vibrant character. The kilim features a striking red field adorned with a central lattice of black diamond motifs, each filled with small floral or geometric accents in green, white, and blue. These interconnected diamonds create a rhythmic, eye-catching pattern typical of Bosnian folk design.

Framing the central field is a bold ivory border, decorated with repeating stylised boteh (leaf or flame-like) motifs in alternating shades of green, red, blue, brown, and black. This multicoloured border adds a lively, playful contrast against the dominant red centre. A narrow black outer border frames the entire piece, giving it definition and balance.

The kilim is finished with short fringes on both ends, adding a soft, artisanal touch. Altogether, it beautifully showcases Bosnian weaving traditions, celebrated for their vivid colour palettes, geometric precision, and symbolic motifs rooted in nature and protection. This piece would make a wonderful accent in any interior, bringing warmth, history, and authentic Eastern European charm.

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, vintage kilim may display slight variations.
