Hazra - Kilim Cicim Handmade woven in wool of Sustainable Origin 153x433 cm

The 153 x 433 cm dimensions create exceptional visual balance, transforming ordinary rooms into spaces with their own unique character. Handwoven by Turkish artisans who have mastered techniques where every thread counts and every line must be perfect.

A series of staggered, rhomboid medallions boldly traverses the field diagonally, creating a dynamic composition that defies typical vertical or horizontal symmetry. Each medallion is a complex geometric construction—an outer rhombus framing a middle rhombus, which in turn contains an inner rhombus—all in carefully crafted chromatic gradation.

The palette celebrates Mediterranean landscapes: browns that evoke sun-dried clay, soft pinks like early dawns, deep blues of ancient seas, yellows like fields of ripe wheat. These colors converse with one another without shouting, each knowing its place in the compositional hierarchy.

The medallions contain small cruciform motifs and smaller rhombuses that add microscopic complexity. These minute details—visible only up close—reward prolonged inspection, transforming the experience of viewing the carpet into a gradual discovery.

The diagonal arrangement is an uncommon compositional choice that requires careful planning. The weaver must calculate precisely how to distribute the medallions so that the diagonal appears natural, not forced. Too steep and it creates uncomfortable visual tension; too gentle and the dramatic effect is lost.

The side borders feature small flowers and geometric motifs in a complementary palette. These narrow bands frame without stealing the show, establishing boundaries without dominating. This balance requires a compositional sensitivity that only experienced weavers possess after years of practice. It offers exceptional durability without sacrificing tactile comfort.

Woven to last for generations, this piece improves with age as only the finest handcrafted materials can. The selected wool comes from flocks raised specifically for textile production, where fiber quality takes precedence over quantity. Processed using methods that respect natural rhythms—gentle washing, hand carding, and spinning that maintains the fiber's integrity—this wool will develop a patina that enhances its beauty with each passing year. An investment in authenticity that improves with time, as only truly handcrafted items can.

This piece is destined to become a focal point, accompanying important moments in family life—children's first steps, celebrations, conversations that define relationships. Over time, this rug will not simply be a decorative object but a container of memories, a silent witness to the life that flows upon it.
