Woven Mat

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

Stitch: herringbone- silver wire.

The composition divides into vertical panels of deep brown ground, each seam finished with a fine zigzag stitch. A single meander motif in pale metallic thread sits isolated at the center, balanced by a stacked row of three triangles in tan on the left and a tall zigzag line in silver-white along the right edge. Two rectangular blocks of lighter, textured tan fabric interrupt the dark field at upper left and lower right, giving the layout an asymmetrical, patchwork-like structure.

Romb

An allover lattice of stacked chevrons and zigzagging diagonal bands covers the field in tones of taupe and oatmeal, interrupted by pale blue-gray lines that trace a secondary, more open diamond pattern across the surface. Small diamond and stepped motifs appear nested within some of the larger chevron peaks, adding fine-scale detail without breaking the overall diagonal rhythm. A plain narrow band frames the composition, left undecorated in the same ivory tone as the ground.

Libri

The field is left open, filled edge to edge with a fine grid of short, irregular dashes forming a subtle basketweave-like texture in muted sage green against a pale ivory ground. There is no border to speak of, the pattern running uninterrupted to all four sides, with faint tonal variation where the green deepens slightly toward the center.
