A Vintage Anatolian Cicim Rug with Bold Tribal Expression
This vintage Anatolian Cicim rug is a true statement piece, showcasing the rich tradition of Turkish flatweaving enhanced by intricate embroidered detailing. Handwoven approximately 60 years ago, it reflects a unique blend of craftsmanship, artistry, and cultural heritage.
Its generous size makes it ideal for living rooms, dining areas, or as a focal point in curated interiors that embrace color, texture, and authenticity.
Design & Technique
The rug features a large-scale geometric composition framed by tribal border motifs. Created using the traditional Cicim technique, decorative patterns are embroidered into the flatwoven base, adding dimension and texture that distinguish it from pile rugs.
This combination of flatweave structure and raised embroidery gives the rug a tactile, layered quality while maintaining durability and flexibility.
