Lova - Handmade Karabagh Kilim in Natural Wool of Sustainable Origin 224x324cm

Woven on a traditional loom over months of dedicated work, this 224×324 cm piece exudes centuries of Anatolian aesthetic refinement. Natural wool processed according to ancestral methods that respect the unhurried pace of true craftsmanship.

An intimate close-up reveals the chromatic virtuosity of a weaver who has mastered the art of gradation. Against a golden mustard background—a color that evokes saffron, honey, and the Mediterranean sun—roses bloom, transitioning from pale pink, almost white, to deep coral, almost red. Each petal displays a tonal gradation that requires a change of thread every few knots.

The sage-green leaves with hints of turquoise look freshly cut, still damp with imaginary dew. The stems curve with organic grace, never rigid or mechanical. Small secondary leaves sprout from the main stems in positions that follow real botanical logic, not merely decorative arrangement.

The gold background is not flat but visually textured by variations in the natural wool tone. Where imaginary light would fall directly, the mustard is lighter; where there would be shadow, it is darker. This modulation transforms a potentially monotonous surface into a field of atmospheric depth.

The details are extraordinary: veins barely suggested on leaves, stamens in the center of flowers barely visible as tiny pale yellow dots, thorns on stems hinted at by individual brown nodes. This level of detail speaks of a weaver who not only masters technique but also observes nature with an artist's eye.

The complete palette—coral pinks, blue-green leaves, and a gold background—creates a harmony that seems inevitable, as if these colors have always belonged together. This apparent naturalness is the result of a profound chromatic knowledge passed down through generations, a sensitivity that cannot be taught in school but only absorbed through years of immersion in tradition. Processed with plant-based dyes that develop chromatic complexity over time, unlike synthetic dyes that fade unevenly, pieces are crafted that transcend decades—not despite the passage of time, but because of it, improving with each year like fine wines or precious woods. This textile, which doesn't follow fleeting trends, establishes a permanent character in the spaces it inhabits, creating that sense of belonging that only authentic objects can provide. An acquisition that balances everyday functionality with enduring beauty.

This is how family heritage is built—not with perfect and untouchable objects, but with pieces robust enough to be used, beautiful enough to be valued.
