Rare Antique Turkish Cicim (Jajim) Kilim Rug, Anatolia, c. 1910
Handwoven Wool Flatweave with Star Motifs, Skewed Striped Geometry
Size: 235 × 141 cm (7'9" × 4'7")
This exceptional Antique Turkish Cicim (Jajim) Kilim rug, dating to circa 1910, is a rare and highly collectible example of early 20th-century Anatolian tribal flatweaving, distinguished by its intricate star motifs, diamond patterning, and diagonally skewed striped geometry arranged at 90-degree angles. Entirely handwoven from handspun natural wool on a cotton foundation, this refined antique flatweave displays a soft, harmonious palette of beige, ivory, cream, and subtle pastel accents, creating a calm yet richly textured visual presence.
Elegant and understated, this kilim works beautifully as a neutral statement area rug, offering timeless appeal for luxury interiors, minimalist spaces, bohemian homes, and curated design-led environments.
Origin
Cultural Heritage
Handwoven in Anatolia, Turkey, around 1910, this rug represents the sophisticated artistry of Cicim (Jijim) and Jajim weaving traditions, techniques renowned for their supplementary weft structure that creates finely detailed, slightly raised motifs. These weaving methods were practised by nomadic and village artisans to produce textiles of symbolic meaning and exceptional craftsmanship.
The recurring star and diamond motifs carry traditional symbolism associated with protection, prosperity, balance, and unity, deeply rooted in Turkish tribal culture. As a genuine antique Anatolian kilim over 110 years old, this piece holds strong appeal for collectors of antique rugs, folk-art textiles, and rare flatwoven carpets.
Design
Decorative Impact
The rug features an all-over field of small star-diamond motifs, crisply outlined in dark tones and arranged within a sophisticated framework of striped bands set at skewed 90-degree angles—a distinctive and visually engaging design rarely encountered in surviving examples.
The soft neutral ground is subtly animated by accents of terracotta, sage green, dusty blue, burgundy, and sunset orange, lending warmth without overpowering the composition. A finely woven tribal border completes the design, reinforcing the rug’s rhythmic Anatolian structure.
This balanced interplay of geometry and restraint makes the kilim exceptionally versatile, ideal for:
Scandinavian and Japandi interiors
Boho-chic and rustic homes
Modern minimalist and wabi-sabi spaces
Country-style and heritage-inspired rooms
Its proportions suit use as a living room rug, bedroom accent, reading nook textile, or hallway kilim, as well as a decorative wall-hung folk-art piece.
Craftsmanship
Materials
This authentic antique flatweave rug is crafted from handspun natural wool, valued for its warmth, durability, breathability, and softly textured surface. The cotton foundation ensures structural integrity, while the Cicim weaving technique adds dimensional detail and artisanal character.
Colours are achieved through traditional natural and vegetable dyeing methods, resulting in gentle tonal variation and long-lasting softness. Every motif reflects the precision, patience, and cultural knowledge of early Anatolian tribal weavers. This is not a decorative reproduction, but a true heritage textile and museum-worthy antique kilim.
Interior Styling
Use
With its size of 235 × 141 cm, this antique Cicim kilim is ideally suited for:
A neutral living room area rug
A bedroom or bedside kilim
A hallway or gallery runner-style rug
A textural layer in minimalist interiors
A decorative wall-hung textile
Its restrained palette pairs effortlessly with natural wood, stone, linen, leather, and contemporary furnishings, adding texture, authenticity, and quiet sophistication. Highly desirable among interior designers, collectors, and lovers of understated tribal décor, it offers depth without visual excess.
Care
Preservation
Vacuum gently on low suction without a beater bar and rotate periodically to ensure even wear. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to protect the natural dyes. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. A rug pad is recommended for added stability and protection. Professional cleaning by an antique rug specialist is advised to preserve its integrity and value.
Why This Kilim Is Exceptional
This Antique Turkish Cicim (Jajim) Kilim rug represents a rare convergence of refined geometry, star symbolism, subtle colour harmony, and masterful handwoven craftsmanship. More than a decorative rug, it is a collectible work of textile art, ideal for buyers seeking a neutral antique kilim, a star-pattern flatweave, or an investment-quality Anatolian textile.
Quietly powerful, historically rich, and visually timeless, this piece brings heritage, balance, and elegance into both modern and traditional interiors.
