Description
Lot 03, This very fine kilim showcases a classic and intricate design based on a repeating geometric diamond pattern, common in flat-woven rugs from regions like Anatolia or the Caucasus. This rug’s design is dominated by a field filled with rows of small diamonds, each containing a central diamond-shaped motif in alternating colours. The diamonds are arranged in a gradient-like fashion, with the colours transitioning from the top of the rug downwards, creating a subtle but effective Ombre effect.
The colours used in the diamonds include shades of blue, green, red, brown, beige, and ivory, all of which are natural, earthy tones often associated with traditional Kilim weaving. The meticulous use of these colours across the diamonds adds depth and vibrancy to the rug, while maintaining the simplicity and harmony of the geometric repetition.
The border is relatively simple in comparison to the central field, composed of zigzag and hooked motifs running along the edges. These are done in alternating colours like green, brown, purple, and red, giving the border a decorative yet understated frame that complements the more elaborate central design.
