This is a beautifully preserved vintage Turkish Cecim Yastık kilim, woven from wool in the traditional Anatolian style. The piece is narrow and long, indicative of its use as a cushion or bolster cover (yastık). It features a striking diamond lattice pattern, where each diamond is filled with intricate tribal motifs rendered in deep reds, indigo blues, mustard yellows, and earthy browns, all set against a warm ivory background.
The sides are bordered with narrow bands featuring complementary geometric designs, which add structural balance to the composition. Hand-knotted tassels at both ends enhance its rustic charm. The tight, flat weave and colour palette suggest it originates from Central or Eastern Anatolia, a region known for its masterful kilim weaving traditions. This kilim reflects both decorative elegance and cultural heritage, making it an ideal collectable textile or unique wall hanging.
Authentic vintage and antique Turkish kilims are hand-woven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
