This woollen vintage Turkish Malatya kilim is a striking example of Anatolian flatweave artistry. The kilim features a bold arrangement of horizontal stripes in rich tones of burgundy, black, ochre, olive green, and orange, creating a vibrant and earthy palette.

At the heart of the design lies a central band filled with intricate geometric motifs in ivory, red, black, and orange, characteristic of Malatya weaving traditions. These motifs, often symbolic, add texture and depth to the otherwise striped composition, showcasing the weaver's craftsmanship and regional identity.

The flatwoven texture gives the piece a lightweight, durable quality, making it suitable as a floor covering, wall hanging, or decorative textile. This kilim embodies both cultural heritage and timeless design, reflecting the artistry of Turkish village weavers.

Authentic vintage and antique Turkish kilims are handwoven with wool and cotton. 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 rugs' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.

Our kilims are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. In addition, we advise using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your rug in position and to smooth out any wrinkles from shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.

Our kilims are professionally cleaned.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
