Antique Kilim Cushion

19th century
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 Aydin kilim from circa 1870, which was beyond restoration. The early dyes of purple aubergines, and saffron yellows are truly wonderful with hints of pale blues. As this a very old piece of kilim it does have some marks on there, due to the kilims age.  The curled latch-hook design is fabulous and full of character.

Each piece used for a cushion has been washed, but occasionally old marks are unable to be removed as this kilim is around 155 years old. There are eight cushions in total made from the same kilim - see all the images attached below.

Aydin is a region in the western area of Konya in Anatolia, located near the mediterranean and is famous for its traditional kilim weaving.  Aydin kilims were woven in varying designs from prayer kilims to large kilims woven in two halves.  A small hook motif derived from the eight-pointed star was used as an infill or border motif.  The area today is an agricultural area where weaving has sadly ceased.

Purchase this antique Kilim cushion online and we will deliver it to your home.  You are very welcome to visit our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey to see our entire collection.  We are open Monday to Saturday 9.30-5.30pm by appointment.

FAQs

A Kilim cushion is a soft furnishing crafted from fragments of traditional flat-woven Kilim carpets, historically handwoven by nomadic artisans across Anatolia, Persia, and the Caucasus.

These cushions are constructed from flat-woven wool threads dyed with natural plant extracts, creating detailed geometric tapestry weaves usually backed with heavy cotton or linen fabric.

Authentic pieces feature structural flat-slit weaving without a raised pile, natural variations in hand-spun yarn thickness, subtle colour shifts known as abrash, and detailed geometric tribal symbology.

A Kilim cushion introduces pattern and tactile interest when layered against neutral linen sofas, structured leather armchairs, or minimalist contemporary bedding.

Care for flat-woven wool textiles by vacuuming gently on low suction without a brush bar, spot cleaning spills with cold water and mild detergent, and seeking professional dry cleaning for thorough restoration.
