A masterful fusion of color, heritage, and craftsmanship, this vintage Mid-Century Turkish Striped Kilim from Balikesir transcends time, offering a rare glimpse into mid-century artistry. Woven meticulously in the 1950s, its flat-weave construction speaks to a rich legacy of nomadic weavers, where each fiber is an embodiment of both resilience and ingenuity.

The flat-woven rug's color palette is a carefully orchestrated symphony: warm almond and toasted pecan anchor the design, while blueberry, pistachio, and tangerine create dynamic, harmonious streaks that evoke the vibrancy of a sun-drenched Turkish landscape. Accents of fig purple, ripe fuchsia, deep espresso, and olive leaf deepen the composition, resulting in a luxurious, multidimensional rhythm of stripes. The "burdock" motif, deeply rooted in Turkish tradition, emerges as a symbol of both protection and abundance, adding a layer of timeless folklore to this textile masterpiece.

This 6x9 large area rug is more than just a floor covering—it is an artisanal statement that brings a sense of elevated elegance to any environment. Whether in a contemporary loft, a bohemian sanctuary, or a refined study, its presence enhances the atmosphere with understated luxury and a touch of nostalgia.

Handwoven from naturally dyed wool, this kilim embodies a profound sense of organic luxury, evolving gracefully over time. With each passing year, it gains depth, patina, and character, rendering it a true heirloom piece.
