11256 Vintage Turkish Esme Kilim Rug 119x203cm (3.11 x 6.8ft)

A traditional flat woven Turkish wool Kilim Rug that has been handmade in a village near the town of Esme, in Turkey's Western Usak Province.  Woven in the flat slit-weave technique, this unique Kelim rug is an authentic vintage piece and it measures approx 119x203cm (3.11 x 6.8ft) excluding any tassels - we love the nice strong red background against the bright woven detail together with the Tree of Life Design in the centre. The bright colours are woven mostly in cotton which gives a completely different look to that of a rug woven in all wool - cotton stays bright and doesn't fade down over time. See more about Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning here.

The Usak region of Turkey has been famous for many years for its flat woven rugs and its folk art kilim weaving traditions and they still make new rugs in this region.  Kilim Rugs from Esme normally have geometric or striped patterns using hand-spun wool and are renowned for their Mihrab, geometric designs and beautiful colours.  These older, original pieces are popular as they have so much individuality.
