Mid-20th C. Turkish Anatolian Kilim — Handwoven Wool, 4’ x 5’7”

Handwoven Turkish Kilim rug from the fourth quarter of the 20th century, attributed to the Anatolian weaving tradition. This flatweave features a striking geometric composition with stepped triangular motifs symbolizing protection, bordered by interlocking meanders and stylized latch-hook medallions. The palette of terracotta, light blue, ivory, and brown reflects the earthy tones typical of mid-century Anatolian village craftsmanship.

Woven in wool on a wool foundation, the piece showcases balanced symmetry, tight weave construction, and finely detailed patterning. Its versatile size and authentic folk artistry make it suitable for both floor use and wall display. Comparable mid-century Anatolian kilims have been noted in Turkish and European collections for their enduring design and cultural symbolism.

Condition

Good overall condition, with one minor stain visible and no odors. The colors remain rich, and the weave is strong throughout, showing light wear consistent with age and handmade construction. Please review photos closely for detailed condition.
