Vintage Anatolian Kilim Rug | Handwoven Wool Flatweave, Earth-Tone Boho Decor

This is an authentic handwoven Anatolian kilim (flatweave) with a bold double-diamond medallion layout and strong tribal geometry. The palette is beautifully “aged-soft” — dusty rose, salmon, camel, olive-gold, black, ivory, and small pops of orange and lilac — giving it that collectible vintage look that still feels calm and usable in modern interiors.

From the close-ups, this is not a knotted-pile rug (so there’s no Turkish vs. asymmetrical knot to count). It’s a weft-faced kilim made with tapestry-style color changes and slit/joined transitions, which is why the motifs look crisp and graphic. The main diamonds, hooked outlines, and small protective emblems are classic village weaving language: symbols for protection, continuity, and household blessing, arranged to create balance and “movement” down the field, while the border acts like a protective frame of repeating talismanic motifs.

Care Instructions

Vacuum gently using suction only (no beater bar).

Rotate every few months for even wear and light exposure.

Spot clean with cold water and a small amount of wool-safe soap; blot—don’t scrub.

For a deeper clean, use a professional rug wash (flatweave-safe).

Use a rug pad to reduce shifting and protect edges.

This kilim has the kind of graphic tribal presence collectors love, but the softened pink-and-earth tones keep it easy to decorate with — especially in modern organic, Scandinavian-boho, desert, and warm minimal interiors. If you want a true handmade piece with real village character (not a printed imitation), this one will elevate the room the moment it’s down.
