Kilim Turkish Rug 128 × 189 cm, Wool, hand-woven

The piece in short

Origin Turkey, format 128 × 189 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.42 m² (4.2' × 6.2').

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool. The rug was hand-woven throughout. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Size and placement

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Weave

Because it is woven rather than knotted, the structure is flat and usable on both sides.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
