11700 Large Vintage Turkish Adana Kilim Rug 238x403cm (7.9½ x 13.2½ft)

Original semi antique hand-woven Turkish wool kilim rug from Adana in Southern Turkey - woven by hand in the flat slit-weave technique. This Traditional Kilim Rug from Turkey is an authentic vintage piece and measures approximately 238x403cm (7.9½ x 13.2½ft) excluding any tassels - this is a very special rug, the colours are absolutely divine, the background is a lovely old red.  This piece has so much to look at with an abundance of lucky symbols and motifs.  This kilim is handwoven in wool however some of the motifs are woven in bright cottons which stand out beautifully making a lovely contrast against the reddish background.  This is an original village piece woven in two long sections then joined in the middle as normally the village looms are not large enough to weave a rug like this in one piece (the join is virtually invisible). This kilim is truly breathtaking! See more about Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning here.

Adana is a large city in southern Turkey which is inland from the Mediterranean, in south-central Anatolia. Being a cotton growing area, Adana has cotton readily available which is often used to weave brightly coloured emblems into rugs. Of course, Adana is also famous for its kebabs!
