Description from the seller

Indian tapestry Kilims are fascinating works of art that bridge traditional weaving with modern design. While the classic Kilim traces its origins more to Persia or Turkey, India has adapted this technique and refined it with regional materials and colors.

Here is a quick overview of what makes these pieces so special:

1. The technique: flat weave rather than knotting
Unlike traditional Oriental carpets, Kilims have no pile. They are made in warp-faced weave (tapestry technique), where the weft threads are beaten so tightly that they completely cover the warp threads.

Versatility on both sides: Most Indian Kilims are reversible, i.e., usable from both sides.

Structure: They are thinner, lighter and more flexible than knotted carpets, which makes them ideal as wall hangings (tapestry) or a light summer floor covering.

Name of the carpet: Kilim Antique Tapestry
Origin: India
Model: Art Deco Kilim Rug
Condition: Very good Perfect
Age: approx. 90 years
Thickness: 4 mm
