Vintage Anatolian Kilim Rug – Handwoven Wool Flatweave, Pastel Tribal Design (188 x 117 cm)

Soft, sun-faded tones and crisp geometry make this authentic handwoven kilim an easy statement piece—light enough for layering, strong enough for everyday living. The field is built around stacked diamond medallions with stepped outlines and small hooked details, framed by sky-blue guard borders and an outer band of bold tribal “X” forms.

This is a true flatweave (kilim) from the Anatolian weaving tradition, created with weft-faced tapestry technique—so you get that clean, graphic look with a low-profile, no-pile feel. The color palette reads beautifully “vintage coastal” and “Scandi-boho”: dusty terracotta, muted aqua/sky blue, sage, sand, and soft butter tones with gentle abrash that signals hand-dyed yarns and small-batch weaving.

Care Instructions

Vacuum without a beater bar (or use lowest setting).

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.

Use a rug pad to reduce shifting and protect fringe/edges.

For a full refresh, choose a professional cleaner experienced with handwoven wool flatweaves.

If you want a rug that feels collected—not manufactured—this kilim delivers: graphic tribal structure, calm vintage color, and the kind of craftsmanship that only comes from handloom weaving. Perfect for an entryway, bedside, studio, hallway layering, or under a small dining setup.
