A vintage Turkish flat-weave Kilim accent carpet handmade during the mid-20th century. Measures: 6' 10" x 9' 7" Flat-weave rugs carpets: Knotted pile rugs are just one small part of a vast universe of textile techniques suitable for heavy use. If you can imagine it, some weaver has tried it out. Pieces can be roughly divided into those reversible from the start and those never, or at least not initially, reversible. Thus, kilims are considered reversible, while everything else is not. Kilims are tapestry woven rugs with both sides the same, in either slit technique where colors change, or with various methods of avoiding slits. Slit tapestry weave goes back to ancient times and Coptic Egyptian weavers used it for ornaments on garments and larger wall hangings. Slits can be avoided by dovetailing of colors (warp sharing) or by interlocking the wefts. The Navajo weavers of the Southwest practice the first while the Fine shawl weavers of Kashmir and Kerman employed the second. Interlocking produces a one-faced fabric, with smooth and rough, ridged faces. The typical Turkish, Caucasian, or Persian rustic Kilim shows slits, but never long ones. Aubusson French carpets are also slit tapestries and the long color transitions are sewn up as part of the regular maintenance. Some kilims are very Fine. The best antique urban Sehna (Senna) kilims on wool, cotton or silk warps approximate the comparable rugs in refinement and are the most desirable of all Persian kilims. Although the various flatweave techniques are usually expressed in geometric, simple, often repeating, patterns, Sehna kilims demonstrate that even the most intricate designs can be effectively rendered in flat-stich. The term ‘Kilim’ has been extended to cover any pileless, weft-faced heavy textile. Thus, the sectioned and joined northeastern Persian horizontally striped wool rugs are called ‘kilims’. So are the plain-weave end finishes of pile rugs. All these are weft-faced, weft patterned flatweaves. These sectioned pieces are woven not on a frame loom, but one steadied by the weaver at one end and with the warps fastened down at the other. Only relatively recent have these tribal pieces become available. They are used as floorcoverings, hangings, room dividers, furniture covers. They are mostly bitonal in shades of natural dark brown and beige. Some more recent pieces show weaver innovations with ikat and moire effects. Work proceeds quickly and a skilled weaver can complete a thirty foot strip in almost no time. Wefts, the elements added as weaving progresses, play an essential part in what is a flatweave. The best-known example of an extra-weft, wrapping technique is on Caucasian and tribal Persian Soumaks, where a pattern weft wraps around the fixed warp, changing as weaving progresses. Soumaks can be large carpets, Kuba in the Caucasus, small bag faces (Caucasian and Persian Shah Savan saddle bags), or cover scatter rugs (Persian Afshars). The Soumak technique is fast, and a weaver can work much more quickly than tying knots. The left-over wefts are cut off on the back, so the front and back are initially different. As a Soumak on the floor gets used, these weft yarns wear away and the two sides converge although the exact texture remains distinct. There are other ways of pattern by weft. Often on smaller tribal pieces, the pattern weft(s) is (are) part of the weft structure, moving in an out, and holding the whole thing together. These wefts can be complementary or added (supplementary), continuous across the flatweave or cut off as they travel unneeded across the verso. Supplementary weft flatweaves are often very compact and substantial. The nomadic Turkmen and Balouch tribes employ both supplementary and complementary weft techniques on their pieces. Supplementary wefts are often raised on the recto (front) while complementary wefts are flat to the surface. Tribal Kurds employ this extra-wefting technique. The Balouch of Pakistan use complementary wefts almost exclusively on their small woven paraphernalia like salt bags. Flatweave techniques may be combined on a single piece. Afshar rugs employ plain-weave end strips, preceded by Soumak bands, with pile sections between. The large Bakhtiari saddlebags feature Soumak work, pile “islands” an areas of plain-weave. Qashqai rugs and kilims frequently displays checkerboard end strips in continuous, complementary wefting. Another distinct flatweave type is the jajim (jijim, cecim) in which a pattern is added with colored wefts as the weaving of the plain-weave ground progresses. Here the wefts are discontinuous and the pattern stands proud from the voided ground. Often made in two pieces on narrow looms and edge-sewn together, these may have geometric patterns. The term ‘jajim’ also refers to the assembled warp-faced strip and stripe covers from the Shah Savan of northwest Persia, the pattern is defined by warps alone, usually in plain stripes, but sometimes in designs of ladders, snakes, human figures and various animals. Here the color changing warps are continuous. Most are wool, a few are silk. Better to call these something else. Indian ‘Dhurries’ are all cotton kilims and ‘shatrangis’ employ wool wefts on cotton warps. Dhurries are slitless. The cotton texture is more appropriate to the humid and warm climate of the Indian subcontinent. Modern Dhurries...

60767 Vintage Turkish Overdyed Rug, 09’02 x 12’03. ​Get ready to embark on a design adventure where Modern Industrial locks horns with Maximalist Bohemian in this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish overdyed rug. It's like a design manifesto with a cheeky twist, a little bit of everything thrown into the mix. The gossamery eclectic design and lively color palette are like a symphony of chaos, capturing the essence of Boho Chic and Maximalism, but with a historical twist that's as intriguing as a good mystery novel. It's the rug equivalent of an art party. Imagine a composition so lavishly appointed it makes Versailles look modest. There's a prominent quatrefoil medallion outlined with intricate acanthus scrollwork and adorned with ogival pendants at each end. And that's just the beginning. In the center, there's an enchanting medallion, richly ornamented with barely-there stylized florals and foliage, like a hidden treasure amidst a bold field of abstract botanicals. But what truly makes this rug pop is the color scheme. The allure of hot pink is balanced by the cool tranquility of gray hues, all while harmonizing with the warm greige undertones. It's a party where everyone's invited, and the result is an esoteric juxtaposition that's as bold as it is beguiling. And let's not forget the pronounced spandrels, like classic motifs that got the memo to party. They radiate from the corners, adding their own touch of charm to this riot of design. But it's not just a rug; it's a lifestyle. Reflecting avant-garde style and a no-fuss design aesthetic, this vintage overdyed rug has masterfully fused the realms of Maximalist Boho and Industrial Glam...

50038 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 02'06 X 11'11. Steeped in heritage yet radiating contemporary grace, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak runner is a triumph of restrained opulence. Its composition—anchored by a sequence of commanding hexagonal medallions—reveals a harmony between architectural precision and spiritual symbolism. Each signature medallion functions as a woven talisman, invoking both balance and protection, while its stepped edges suggest the ascending form of ancient ziggurats. This is a Turkish masterpiece designed not simply to adorn, but to elevate—to transform its surroundings into a passage of quiet grandeur and timeless sophistication. The artistry is deeply rooted in Anatolia’s illustrious weaving legacy, where every motif carries a story and every symbol a purpose. Within the medallions, stylized amulets and scorpion motifs stand as ancient guardians against misfortune, their angular geometry expressing both strength and grace. The delicate bird forms woven between them serve as emblems of love and prosperity, softening the design’s rigor with lyrical balance. The interplay between geometry and spirit reflects the dual nature of Oushak artistry—regal yet human, refined yet elemental. The precious rug’s texture adds another dimension to its allure. The hand-spun wool possesses a luminous sheen, responding to light with an almost silken subtlety. Variations in tonality and weave create a painterly effect, a sophisticated abrashed surface that whispers of age, authenticity, and tactility. Its surface exudes the calm richness of timeworn luxury—the kind of beauty that feels inherited rather than acquired. Each inch bears the trace of craftsmanship passed through generations, a legacy of skill refined to near perfection. To own such an exquisite work of art is to possess more than a rug—it is to inherit an artifact of cultural resonance and aesthetic mastery. This exceptional Oushak runner speaks to those who appreciate the nuance of rarity and the poetry of design that transcends fashion. Whether gracing the corridor of a modern penthouse or the entryway of a heritage estate, it embodies an aura of cultivated prestige—an object of enduring beauty for the collector who values history woven into the fabric of modern life. Rendered in variegated shades of camel, butterscotch, caramel, tan, sand, ecru, taupe, coffee, espresso, brown, peanut, and mocha with other neutral striations.  Small repair on one corner...

53078 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 05'06 x 07'03. ​Antique-washed Turkish Oushak rugs are a distinct variation of traditional rugs originating from the Oushak region in western Turkey. These rugs undergo a specialized washing process. During this process, the colors are softened, and the rug is imbued with a weathered charm reminiscent of aged pieces. The objective of antique-washing is to mimic the natural fading and patina that develops over time on authentic antique rugs, thereby infusing the Oushak rug with a sense of history and character. Typically, antique-washed Oushak rugs showcase muted, earthy tones and subtle color variations, enhancing their vintage allure. They blend the enduring craftsmanship of traditional Turkish rug-making with the nostalgic appeal of antique aesthetics, making them highly sought-after for both classic and contemporary interior settings. Balancing traditional sensibility and French Coastal...
