This petite antique Armenian kilim is a richly woven example of Caucasian craftsmanship, notable for its compact size and bold tribal geometry. Handwoven in wool, the kilim features a striking central medallion with a stepped hexagonal motif, surrounded by intricate hooked and diamond forms that echo traditional Armenian and regional Caucasian symbolism.
Rendered in deep, earthy tones of brick red, charcoal, ivory, and muted olive, the design is framed by a repeating pattern of stylised stars and hexagons, giving the piece a rhythmic, mosaic-like structure. The slight asymmetry and natural, abrashed colour variations enhance its charm and authenticity, pointing to its handmade origin and age.
Likely once part of a larger tribal weaving or used as a utilitarian item such as a storage bag, face, or mat, this kilim now stands as a decorative artefact, offering a glimpse into the cultural heritage and artistic vocabulary of Armenian village weavers. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for display in a gallery wall, niche, or as a tabletop accent with historic flair.
Authentic vintage and antique Armenian kilims are handwoven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.
