History:
Konya as a group include many kilim and cicim weavings from surrounding villages in central Turkey and also include examples woven by nomads for a young woman's marriage dowry. These kilims/ cicims are prized for their luxurious wool and beautiful colors, with older pieces characterized by restrained color combinations and use of earth tones (soft yellow, terracotta and browns). The symbols used on all kilims have special meanings and can reflect the weavers desire for protection, abundance, happiness, fertility, etc.
Please note: All our vintage rugs are handmade. Our vintage pieces are all preloved and due to the age and/or handmade nature of these items, minor signs of patination, fading, wear, or slightly asymmetrical lines may be present. These are not considered flaws, they are part of their unique nature and why we love using them in our homes as they add both character and charm.
