This old Turkish Sarkoy kilim rug originates from Western Turkey and dates from circa 1930. The flatwoven piece is made from wool with a very tight and fine weave, displaying a soft red central field set against a dark brown, green, and ivory geometric border filled with multi-coloured motifs in blue, yellow, and green. The surface features intricate repeating diamond medallions, stepped diamonds, and slit-weave details, alongside slight wear showing its age. Measuring 240 cm x 175 cm, the large carpet is hand washed and ready for use. Positioned on the floor, the rug suits living rooms, bedrooms, or studies, bringing traditional Anatolian character and a Glastonbury Boho design vibe to contemporary or classic interiors. The traditional patterns and rich soft red backdrop anchor a seating area or bedroom floor with warmth and texture, integrating easily into a wide range of everyday home styling choices.

FAQs

Sarkoy kilims originate from the Thrace and Balkan regions of the former Ottoman Empire. They are distinguished by fine flatweave construction, intricate geometric motifs, and characteristic central diamond medallions surrounded by decorated borders.

Traditional Anatolian and Balkan kilims are hand-woven using pure hand-spun wool for both warp and weft threads. The yarns were coloured using natural dye techniques or early synthetic pigments to achieve soft, durable tones.

Authentic pieces display slit-weave tapestry techniques where colour transitions create vertical gaps along design edges. Look for subtle colour variations, called abrash, and detailed stepped diamond medallions rendered in wool.

A soft red kilim provides a grounded, textural foundation in living areas or bedrooms. It contrasts effectively against neutral timber flooring, stone accents, and modern upholstered furniture.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to prevent thread damage. Use a non-slip underlay beneath the rug and seek professional dry cleaning for stain removal.
