Vintage Pictorial Peruvian Kilim 3'9" x 3'

Size: 3.9 x 3 ft.

Origin: Puru

Circa: 1970s

Material: Pure Wool

This Peruvian woollen kilim showcases a striking, bold design inspired by ancient Andean iconography. It features a central figure rendered in earthy tones of brown, beige, black, and grey against a cream background. The abstracted, geometric figure appears to be a stylised deity or warrior, with an elaborate headdress, raised arm, and a staff or sceptre, reflecting motifs often found in pre-Columbian art.

The weaving technique is flatwoven, which is characteristic of kilims, and the composition demonstrates a skilful use of symmetry and pattern. The bold outlines and angular forms create a sense of movement and strength, while the earthy colour palette grounds the piece in the natural landscape of the Andes. This decorative textile carries cultural and symbolic significance, representing Peru's rich artistic heritage. It would make a striking wall hanging or accent piece in a contemporary or traditional setting.

Authentic vintage and antique South American kilims are handwoven with cotton or wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to these kilims' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.

Our kilims are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life.
