This rare Vintage Jijim Kilim Rug was handwoven by Yörük tribes in the Taurus Mountains of Southern Anatolia, Turkey, approximately 60 years ago. Measuring 77 cm x 135 cm (2’5” x 4’3”), it showcases an intricate composition of symbolic motifs and tight vertical striping typical of traditional Jijim weaving.
Its color palette includes rich tones like Brick Red, Olive Green, Goldenrod, Burnt Sienna, and Timberwolf, echoing the natural dyes and landscapes of Anatolia. Each tone is woven in with purpose—Olive Green for growth and earth, Brick Red for strength and protection, and Goldenrod symbolizing abundance and sunlight.
Made entirely of 100% wool, both in weft and warp, this kilim reflects centuries of Anatolian craftsmanship and nomadic storytelling. The Yörük people’s weaving techniques blend functionality with heritage, where even the smallest symbols—such as hooks, arrows, or flowing zigzags—carry meanings tied to protection, prosperity, and continuity.
Weighing 3 kg, this one-of-a-kind kilim is versatile: it can be used as a rug, tapestry, wall hanging, or statement textile in bohemian, rustic, or eclectic interiors. Its lightweight yet durable nature allows it to travel and transform spaces, just as it once moved with the nomadic tribes that made it.
Whether you’re a collector of traditional textiles or simply drawn to timeless craftsmanship, this unique Jijim kilim is not just a decorative piece—it’s a living fragment of Anatolian history.
