Woven Mat

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is divided into four vertical panels joined by visible cream-colored whipstitch seams, each panel woven in irregular horizontal striations of brown, taupe, and warm gray that shift in tone from panel to panel, with flecks of ivory and near-black scattered throughout. There is no border in the traditional sense; the outer edge is finished with the same overcast stitch that joins the panels, and the composition reads as an open, undecorated field organized purely by these seams and tonal bands.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is divided into four vertical panels of coarse, open weave, each crossed by irregular horizontal bands in dark brown that shift in placement and spacing from one panel to the next, creating an offset, almost banded-grid effect. The ground ranges from pale oatmeal to grayish beige, with visible texture and slubs giving the surface an uneven, hand-hewn character. A plain flat selvage of twisted brown yarn runs along all four edges, with no additional border ornament or field motifs beyond the stripes.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

A patchwork field composed of twelve rectangular panels stitched together with visible dark whip-stitched seams, each panel differing subtly in texture and tone from taupe and oatmeal to walnut and chocolate brown. No border frames the composition beyond the same overcast edge finish that outlines the panels, giving the whole surface an irregular grid effect. Variations in the striping and flecking within each block suggest they were joined from separate lengths rather than woven as a single continuous field.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is divided into four vertical bands, each further broken into stacked horizontal blocks, forming an irregular grid of natural tones ranging from pale oatmeal to warm walnut and deep umber. Subtle striations and flecks of lighter and darker fiber run through each panel, giving the surface a mottled, banded texture rather than a uniform color. There is no border or figural ornament; the composition relies entirely on the shifting rectangles of undyed-looking earth tones, with a plain overcast edge visible along the perimeter.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

An open field divided into four vertical panels, each seamed together and worked in a plain flatwoven texture. The tones shift subtly panel to panel between warm brown, taupe, and oatmeal, with occasional lighter striations breaking the surface horizontally. A whipstitched border in matching undyed tones frames the composition, leaving the overall design without any additional motif beyond its banded structure.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is organized into four vertical panels of coarse, open-textured ground, each crossed at irregular intervals by dark brown horizontal bands of varying width, so that the stripes fall out of alignment from one panel to the next. The palette is limited to undyed tones of oatmeal, taupe, and deep umber, with visible variation in the twist and thickness of the strands giving the surface an uneven, hand-worked texture. A whip-stitched edge in dark brown runs continuously around all four sides, framing the piece without a separate border design.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is organized as a checkerboard of eight rectangular panels, alternating between flat oatmeal-beige bands and deeper walnut-brown blocks, each with subtle vertical striations from the banded structure. No border frames the composition; instead the panels run edge to edge, finished with a plain overcast edge in matching tan tones. The palette stays within a narrow earth-toned range, with only faint ivory flecks breaking the brown and beige surfaces.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is left plain, divided into four vertical panels by narrow ivory seams stitched in a visible zigzag join, each panel showing subtle horizontal striations of taupe, walnut, and warm grey tones flecked with darker brown. There is no border proper, only a slim undyed selvage framing the composition, and no figural or repeating motif interrupts the banded, striped ground. The overall palette stays within a narrow range of browns and creams, with the seams providing the only linear structure across the surface.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is divided into four vertical panels, each further broken by horizontal bands, forming a loose grid across the surface. Tones move through undyed shades of taupe, oatmeal, and deep umber, with fine ivory striations running through several panels. A flatly worked border of twisted warp ends frames the composition, left plain without further ornament.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is left entirely open, divided into five vertical panels of undyed brown tones ranging from deep chocolate to warm taupe, with irregular horizontal bands of lighter color drifting across each strip. Three of the seam lines between panels are joined with a herringbone-stitched cream cord, while the outer edges are finished in a continuous cream whip-stitched border.
