Measuring 6x10 feet, this mid-century treasure is more than a rug; it's a statement piece that seamlessly blends cultural heritage with modern elegance.

Expertly handwoven from premium wool, this flat-woven kilim showcases the enduring artistry of the Balikesir region. Its rich brown base is enhanced by vibrant accents of terracotta, cream, and orange, creating a sophisticated yet approachable color palette. The balanced tones ensure effortless integration into neutral, layered, or contrasting designs, making it ideal for a variety of interiors.

The design celebrates the iconic "burdock" motif, a traditional Anatolian symbol of resilience and protection. Larger motifs anchor the corners, while smaller ones create movement across the surface. Framing the composition is a bold running water border, with intricate zigzag details that highlight the piece's artisanal craftsmanship and cultural significance.

This kilim's naturally aged patina, a hallmark of its vintage authenticity, adds character and depth to its narrative. Its subtle imperfections reflect its storied past, aligning perfectly with contemporary design trends that embrace organic, one-of-a-kind pieces over mass-produced alternatives.
