This vintage Turkish flat tapestry-woven kilim pillow originates from the tribal and nomadic cultures of Anatolia. Each region producing kilims employs its own distinctive patterns and colors in the design. The kilim weaving technique creates open slits in between color changes, producing clearly defined geometric shapes which are highly valued by collectors. Kilim rugs are traditionally used either as prayer rugs or purely for decoration. In recent years, these textiles have become an increasingly popular collector’s item around the world.
