This vintage Turkmen tribal kilim is a striking, large woollen flat-weave, showcasing the bold geometry and earthy tones characteristic of Central Asian nomadic textiles. The field is composed of a vibrant lattice of stepped diamond motifs, each meticulously woven in alternating tones of ochre, rose, teal, chestnut, and navy, creating a rhythmic, mosaic-like visual impact.
Surrounding the central diamond grid are narrow borders filled with stylised rosettes and symbolic motifs, which are further framed by broad brown bands at the top and bottom, adorned with simple linear striping a design nod to the utilitarian roots of tribal weaving. The repetition and symmetry throughout speak to the weaver's precision and cultural storytelling through pattern.
Handwoven entirely in wool, this kilim embodies durability, tradition, and a timeless aesthetic. Its bold design and generous size make it ideal for anchoring large living spaces or using as a dramatic wall hanging in rustic, bohemian, or eclectic interiors. A beautiful representation of Turkmen tribal heritage and textile artistry.
