Beautiful Room Size Vintage Turkish Kilim Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – The bold, tribal pattern of this unique mid 20th century Turkish kilim rug combines elements of both traditional and modern design.

It uses a traditional design but uses it in a way that gives it a distinctively modern artistic quality.

This flat woven carpet cleverly creates an optical illusion that appears as if a piece of two sided fabric has been placed on top of the darker carpet. The corners of the vintage flat woven Turkish Kilim rug appear to be folded over on the corners so that you can see that it has a design underneath. In addition, the ends are folded to make it appear as if the piece of fabric placed on top of the carpet is lighter in weight than the underlying carpet.
This is a fascinating Turkish kilim in its treatment of the subject matter, its bold and brilliant colors and the unique design within a design. It cleverly uses an optical illusion to give it interest and dimension. This makes it a unique, one-of-a-kind vintage Turkish flat woven kilim rug.
