Antique Transitional Kilim Rug in Red All Over Geometric Pattern 12821

Originating from Turkey circa 1900-1910, this antique transitional Kilim rug employs a distinctive all over field design, with varied depictions of classic Turkish star motifs commonly believed to symbolize joy and fertility among diverse cultural interpretations. Classic, comfortable tones of pink-red and beige-brown play against an uncommonly dark background as the star motifs form a rippling pattern akin to similar protective eye depictions—known in some cultures as the “evil eye” believed in these pieces to be a protective ward against bad energies—while the intricate, uniquely layered borders enfold these symbols in their alternative colorways for an expansive, almost kaleidoscopic take on grand Turkish symmetry.
