Güre - Handmade Kilim in Natural Wool 138x189cm
Güre - Handmade Kilim in Natural Wool 138x189cm
Entirely handwoven from carefully selected natural wool, this 138 x 189 cm piece preserves Anatolian artisanal techniques that have remained unchanged for centuries. Each fiber is processed using ancestral methods that prioritize durability and enduring beauty. The geometric design blends mathematical precision with artistic sensibility in a way that only decades of practice can master. Symbols of protection and fertility intertwine in a balanced composition where each element interacts with its neighbors, creating the visual rhythm that characterizes the finest Turkish textiles.
Three monumental rhomboid medallions are stacked vertically, creating a composition of extraordinary chromatic impact. The top medallion combines blue, red, and yellow; the middle one features green, blue, and yellow; and the bottom one displays red, terracotta, and yellow. This chromatic variation among the medallions prevents the monotony that three identical shapes would create.
Each medallion contains multiple layers of geometric motifs—concentric rhombuses, crosses, small protective hooks—all arranged according to strict radial symmetry. The internal complexity is astounding: each medallion likely contains dozens of individual motifs that must align perfectly.
The side borders are wide bands filled with elongated rhombuses in multiple colors that alternate without any obvious pattern. This apparent chromatic randomness is actually carefully calibrated—too much pattern and it becomes predictable, too little and it feels chaotic.
The full palette encompasses virtually the entire spectrum: reds, blues, yellows, greens, terracotta, oranges, and purples. This chromatic exuberance suggests that the piece may have been a special commission, a celebratory rug woven for an important event.
The background between the medallions is minimal, almost nonexistent. The three large rhombuses practically fill the surface from edge to edge, creating a visual density that can feel overwhelming or exuberant depending on the observer's sensitivity.
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.
