Measuring 6 ft 7 in x 4 ft 8 in (200.6 cms x 142.2 cms) this is a visually appealing, 100% Handmade, Vintage, Organic Wool Flat-weave Turkish Kilim Rug, originally woven in the Usak region of Western Turkey by Tribal Weavers up to 30 years ago. Usak has been, for Centuries, a major centre for carpet and kilim production for both Local Domestic and International Commercial markets. Always moving with contemporary trends and market demands, the weavers in Usak are continually modifying traditional designs and colours to present rugs and kilims best suited to the decorating trends of the times.

These Oushak (Usak) Kilims are a perfect example of the realization, around 1980’s, that softer colours and more subtle, less geometric designs were what the market wanted. Consequently, the simple design and soft colour palette of this kilim are reminiscent of traditional motifs and patterns passed down from generation to generation of Village weavers which have been modified to suit changed market requirements.

This Kilim has been made of locally sourced sheep wool, coloured with vegetable dyes using a unique technique to produce the softly variegated, muted colors which compliment contemporary home decor trends. This rug is the perfect way to add a traditional piece of the past to the present-day home.
