Vintage Small Fethiye Kilim Rug from Fethiye – Aegean Heritage in Wool and Cotton
This vintage kilim rug, handwoven approximately 60 years ago in Seydiler Village near Fethiye, Southwestern Turkey, is a stunning example of Anatolian textile heritage. Measuring 74 cm x 113 cm (2’5” x 3’7”), this one-of-a-kind piece showcases the traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations in the region. The weft is made of soft cotton, while the warp is sturdy wool, ensuring both durability and texture.
Situated along the turquoise shores of the Aegean Sea, Fethiye is known not only for its breathtaking coastal landscapes but also for its deep-rooted cultural traditions. Among them, kilim weaving holds a special place. Villages like Seydiler have historically been centers for producing vibrant, symbolic, and highly functional kilims—each rug a visual story woven by local artisans.
This particular rug displays a bold and earthy color palette dominated by Brick Red, Forest Green, Midnight Blue, Mahogany, and Timberwolf—shades that reflect both the natural beauty of the Aegean landscape and the symbolic motifs of Anatolian design. Patterns often symbolize fertility, protection, and harmony, making kilims not only decorative but deeply meaningful artifacts.
The rug is lightweight (2 kg) and highly versatile—perfect as a wall hanging, decorative centerpiece, or functional floor covering. Whether displayed in a modern, rustic, or bohemian interior, it brings the warmth and history of Anatolia into any space.
