A Vintage Karapınar Kilim with Effortless Simplicity
Handwoven approximately 60 years ago in the Karapınar region of Central Anatolia, this vintage kilim embodies the beauty of simplicity through its refined striped design and harmonious color palette. Flatwoven using traditional techniques, it reflects generations of Anatolian craftsmanship while maintaining a distinctly modern appeal.
Its elongated proportions and clean composition make it especially suited for spaces that benefit from subtle movement and visual continuity.
