Antique Kilim Cushion

19th century
Sold 10 December 2025 · Farnham Antique Carpets
This “Antique Kilim Cushion” found a buyer.

It was listed by Farnham Antique Carpets. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

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 using rare greens, aubergine, orange dyes 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 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.

A kilim is a flatweave carpet or rug produced in countries of the former Persian Empire, including Turkey, Iran, and the Caucasus, dating back centuries as a traditional nomadic craft.

Authentic pieces are constructed using hand-spun wool warp and weft threads, frequently dyed with natural vegetable pigments and woven on traditional upright vertical looms.

Authentic items display hand-spun wool inconsistencies, natural vegetable dye fading, slit-weave geometric intersections, and genuine wear consistent with age.

These decorative objects add texture and colour to neutral modern seating arrangements, contrasting cleanly against minimalist leather or linen upholstery.

Preservation requires gentle surface cleaning with a low-suction attachment, avoiding direct prolonged sunlight to prevent fading, and professional textile cleaning when necessary.
