Antique Striped Kilim Beige Gray Flat Weave with Classic Pink Motifs 12556

Handwoven in wool originating from Turkey between 1910-1920, this antique Kilim rug enjoys a very modern design appeal in the play of its more whimsical accenting colorways with the underlying pattern, a skillful marriage of varied pink and red ram’s horn motifs lending a sense of movement and life to the dignified, reserved beige gray striped pattern. The natural dimensionality created through juxtaposition offers a fabulous negotiation between dignified and arresting design appeal, with few Kilin of this era enjoying this subtle refinement of color and the textural, tactile quality it lends in complement of the more grasping visual elements. Connoisseurs will note the significance of the ram’s horn symbols in historical context, widely believed to symbolize themes of strength, protection, and even fertility among varied cultural interpretations; an intriguing subtext lending to the collectible and conversational allure of the piece in equal part to its interior design appeal.
