About the Item
This vibrant hand-woven Kente cloth is an authentic West African textile created within the esteemed Ewe–Asante (Ashanti) weaving tradition of Ghana, one of Africa’s most celebrated and historically significant textile arts. Woven from a luxurious blend of silk and cotton, this piece reflects generations of master craftsmanship and cultural storytelling.
The design features a dynamic palette of magenta, green, golden yellow, and deep black, arranged in rhythmic geometric bands that are both visually powerful and symbolically rich. In traditional Kente language, these colors represent vitality, growth, prosperity, and spiritual strength, making the textile not only decorative but deeply meaningful.
Kente cloths were historically worn by royalty and nobility and used in ceremonial and important social occasions, symbolizing status, wisdom, and cultural identity. Today, authentic Kente is highly sought after by collectors and interior designers for its bold graphic presence and refined hand-woven texture.

Vintage Moroccan Kilim
Located in Barrington, IL
Beautiful flatwoven rug or a kilim from the mid-1900s. The color scheme and design resemble the Navajo rugs from the Southwest US. A series of triangles in teal green, dark red, bluish-purple, black, and bright orange are arranged in a zigzag pattern down the center of the field. The charcoal border with repeating ivory diamonds. The top of the rug has more earth tones and muted colors whereas the backside has brighter colors as shown in the photo. So it is truly a two-sided carpet!! Because of the kilim flatweave, the rug can be used on either side depending on the design needs and color preference. The last six photos show the color for the backside of the kilim.
