This vintage Indigenous Peruvian kilim is a vibrant handwoven piece that captures the essence of Andean textile artistry. Its design is composed of a series of rectangular panels, each containing bold geometric motifs rendered in earthy tones of terracotta, green, blue, and brown, accented with softer pastels. These repeating patterns reflect the cultural symbolism often found in Peruvian weavings, where shapes and colours embody elements of nature, spirituality, and ancestral heritage.
The border, in soft green, frames the composition, providing balance and grounding to the colourful central motifs. Woven in wool, this kilim showcases the traditional flatweave technique, prized for its durability and intricate detail. Its structured yet playful design makes it a versatile textile, suitable for use as a floor covering, wall hanging, or decorative accent, and it stands as a beautiful testament to the enduring traditions of Indigenous Peruvian craftsmanship.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these kilims, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.
Our kilims are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your rug in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your kilim from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.
