Uşak Kilim - Anatolia. 195 X 120 Cm. Woven Rug
Kilim. Uşak, Western Anatolia. Circa 1980. 195 × 120 cm
A craft that lives on...
This kilim bears witness to a tradition that, in certain regions of Turkey, has stood the test of time. Handwoven around 1980, it serves as a reminder that the weavers’ craftsmanship did not fade away with earlier productions: it has continued to thrive, sometimes with remarkable precision and mastery.
The qualities of an antique piece
The fineness of the weave, its regularity, and the balance of the composition evoke the qualities sought in the finest antique kilims. For a relatively recent piece, this level of craftsmanship is rare. It demonstrates that a piece woven in the 1980s can still achieve a level of quality worthy of the finest antique examples.
A star-studded field framed by superb borders
Against the midnight blue background unfolds a constellation of geometric motifs. The stars, arranged with precision, give the field a beautiful depth and a rhythm that captures the eye. Some shapes evoke the yin and yang symbol, like two complementary forces united in the design.
Magnificent borders frame this composition and echo it with a vocabulary of powerful forms: stylized wolf’s mouths and eagle’s wings. These motifs bring movement to the whole and seem to convey a sense of protection and freedom.
A contrasting, deep, and luminous color palette
Midnight blue structures the composition and highlights the rich reds, ivory, soft greens, and touches of pale yellow. Plant-based dyes lend this palette a nuanced depth, while their contrast highlights the precision of the design.
Handwoven
Hand-spun wool, wool-on-wool
Plant-based dyes
Circa 1980
Dimensions: 195 × 120 cm
Choosing an antique rug or textile is often a serendipitous encounter.
