This vibrant vintage South American wool kilim showcases a joyful folk-art style, handwoven with expressive geometric motifs and figures. Featuring repeated depictions of stylised animals and human faces, possibly symbolic of mythological or tribal themes, the design bursts with character and cultural significance. Rendered in earthy and pastel tones such as terracotta, sage green, rose pink, lilac, and soft ivory, the composition is playful yet rhythmic. The figures are outlined with bold linear elements, giving the kilim a graphic, almost totemic quality. Framed by a rust-toned border and a pale green outline, this textile captures the artisanal soul of South American indigenous weaving traditions, making it ideal as a wall hanging or decorative statement piece.
Authentic vintage and antique South American kilims are hand-woven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.
Our kilim rugs 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.
Our kilims are professionally cleaned.
