Woven Mat

SAVONERRIE

A pale celadon field is framed by a scrolling tan medallion outline enclosing loose bouquets of pink, yellow, and mauve roses with sage-green foliage, scattered evenly across the interior with a denser floral cluster at the center. The border repeats the same scrolling vine and rose sprays against a matching celadon ground, closing with a plain warm brown outer band.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

A plain field divided into four vertical bands, each showing subtle horizontal striations in tones of taupe, oatmeal, and warm gray-brown, with occasional lighter fleecy streaks running across the surface. Faint seam lines mark the divisions between the panels, and the border is a narrow flat band in undyed cream that frames the composition without further ornament. The field is otherwise left open, its interest carried entirely by the shifting texture and tonal variation of the striped ground.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

An undecorated field in a heathered off-white ground, flecked with faint tan and gray striations, is divided into four vertical panels by dark zigzag-stitched seams. The same herringbone whip-stitching outlines the entire perimeter, echoing the seam pattern as its only ornament. The composition remains otherwise open, relying on the panel divisions and tonal variation across the ground for visual interest.

EUROPEAN

A dark brown ground carries six peacocks, alternating in coral-pink and pale blue-green plumage, arranged in pairs facing one another across dense scrolling acanthus leaves in cream and gold. Small rosette medallions in rust, teal and cream punctuate the field between the birds, and the same acanthus scrollwork continues into corner cartouches. Colors are consistent throughout: deep brown ground, ivory foliage, and touches of coral, teal, and rust in the birds and blossoms.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is left entirely open in an undyed ivory tone, divided down the center by a vertical seam where two panels meet. A thick, looped border in matching cream frames all four edges and runs along the central seam, its raised ridged texture the only surface interest against the plain ground.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

An overall geometric field composed of interlocking hexagonal and star-pointed shapes rendered in alternating dark brown, taupe, and cream, set against an ivory ground. The pieced segments are joined by visible whip-stitched seams that outline each block, giving the surface a patchwork-like structure without a separate border. No border or field/ground distinction beyond the tessellated pattern is present, and the composition runs edge to edge without a central medallion.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

A patchwork ground built from rectangular panels in varying widths, each stitched to its neighbor with visible whip-stitched seams. Tones shift gently across the field from ivory to tan and soft camel, arranged in an irregular brick-like pattern rather than a symmetrical design, with a plain flatwoven border and no additional ornament.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

A field of plain ivory ground is divided by narrow vertical seams into four panels, each edged with a fine whipstitch in tan thread. Four rectangular patches in banded brown, taupe, and cream tones sit at staggered heights across the panels, their striped weave contrasting with the otherwise open surface.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

A flat, undecorated ground built from rectangular panels of varying tone, arranged in an interlocking brick-like pattern that shifts from pale ivory to soft camel and tan. Each panel is joined with a visible zigzag stitch in a contrasting thread, emphasizing the geometry of the patchwork rather than any woven motif. The composition is asymmetrical, with the darker brown segments clustered slightly left of center and along the lower edge.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

A solid dark brown ground is overlaid with an interlocking zigzag lattice traced in gold-toned stitching, forming a repeating pattern of angular, arrow-like segments across the surface. The same gold stitch continues around the outer edge as a whipped border, matching the interior linework. No corner medallion, field division, or inscription interrupts the continuous geometric grid.
