Description

One beautiful hand-crafted antique Kilim cushion, with a soft brown corduroy backing to compliment the stunning ancient colours and this cushion has a soft feather insert.  This cushion has been created using an antique Anatolian Hotamis kilim from circa 1850, which was beyond restoration.  The early dyes using rare greens, aubergine, pale blues and soft reds are truly wonderful. As this a very old piece of kilim it does have some marks on there, due to the kilims age.  Each piece used for a cushion has been washed, but occasionally old marks are unable to be removed as this kilim is around 175 years old.

Hotamis, a town located east of Konya and south of Karapinar in Central Anatolia, it is famous for its traditional kilim weaving.  Hotamis kilims are valued for their unique designs and craftsmanship, often reflecting the region’s weaving heritage.

This antique Anatolian tribal cushion dates from 1850 and is formed from a square flat-weave wool and cotton kilim. The design displays an array of geometric motifs, including large central diamond medallions, serrated borders, and cross shapes set against a terracotta red ground. Additional colours visible across the textile include pale blue, sage green, dark brown, and aubergine. Signs of age appear as scattered historical marks left behind from its time prior to conversion, while the reverse side uses a soft brown corduroy fabric. Measuring 42 cm high, 42 cm wide, and 2 cm deep, this piece suits placement on the end of a sofa in a living room, study, or eclectic interior setting.

An antique kilim cushion is a decorative soft furnishing crafted from fragments of traditional flat-woven tapestry rugs, historically produced by nomadic weavers across Anatolia, Persia, and the Caucasus.

Kilim cushions are constructed using hand-spun wool threads woven tightly over a cotton or wool warp, producing a durable flat-weave textile with distinct geometric patterns.

Authentic kilim cushions display slight irregularities in the hand-spun yarn, natural abrash colour variations from vegetable dyes, and a flat-weave texture without a raised pile.

A kilim cushion adds texture and pattern when paired with neutral linen upholstery, layered on leather armchairs, or arranged alongside plain cushions in eclectic interior schemes.

Kilim cushions should be gently vacuumed using a suction-only attachment and spot-cleaned with cold water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or machine washing.
