AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large vintage Anatolian Yörük kilim from Turkey, dating approximately to the mid-20th century and estimated to be around 70 years old.

Measuring 284 × 170 cm (approximately 9.3 × 5.6 ft), this traditional Anatolian textile covers approximately 4.83 m².

The kilim is entirely handwoven from a blend of wool and cotton, giving the textile a particularly soft and pleasant texture.

Its most distinctive characteristic is the highly graphic field composed of repeated octagonal and geometric tribal motifs. Each compartment contains variations of traditional geometric forms, creating a rich and rhythmic composition while preserving the individual character associated with handmade Anatolian weaving.

The colour palette combines beautifully aged shades of muted red, rust, orange, soft pink, grey, beige and yellow, with darker outlines defining the individual motifs. The naturally softened appearance of the colours contributes significantly to its authentic vintage character.

Decorative geometric borders frame the central field, while the handwoven construction shows the subtle irregularities expected from a traditional textile of this age.
