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 decorative pillow crafted from a flat-woven textile traditionally produced in Anatolia, Persia, Central Asia, or the Caucasus. Unlike pile carpets, kilims are created using tapestry weaving techniques that produce flat, durable fabric with intricate geometric patterns.

Traditional kilim cushions are constructed from flat-woven wool or cotton textiles, often coloured with natural plant dyes. The front panel features a section of woven carpet, while the reverse is typically backed with a plain cotton or linen fabric secured with a zip closure.

Authentic antique kilim textiles feature hand-spun wool yarns, slight asymmetrical variations in hand-woven geometric patterns, and subtle tonal shifts known as abrash. The weave remains flat without pile, showing structural integrity and traditional motif designs.

A kilim cushion can be styled on a neutral sofa, leather armchair, or bed to add texture, warmth, and geometric contrast. Pairing patterned woven textiles with plain linen or velvet fabrics balances tactile interest across contemporary living spaces.

Vacuum the cushion surface gently using a suction attachment without a brush roll to protect the woven fibres. For spills or general cleaning, spot clean with cold water and mild neutral detergent or consult a professional dry cleaner specializing in historic textiles.
