Multicolored Vintage Flatweave Wool Turkish Kilim - 5'9" x 13'9"

This vintage Turkish kilim rug was woven during the early 20th century in the ancient dwellings of Kanya and Malatya by nomadic Anatolian communities. Handwoven from the wool collected and spun from their own flocks, these authentic kilim rugs are naturally dyed with vegetation from different parts of roots, bark, leaves, berries and wildflowers - eucalyptus, madder red, indigo & iris - all are sustainably sourced from vegetable waste so that the living plant itself is left undamaged. The natural colorwork is faded by time into dreamy earth tones that provide a sense of warmth and soul that can only come from something cultured. Handmade in Turkey.
