Halas - Kilim in Handwoven Natural Silk 169x236cm

This 169×236 cm kilim rug in pure silk represents the pinnacle of Turkish textile art. Woven entirely by hand with microscopic precision that only exceptional masters can achieve, this piece embraces silk in a tactile experience that redefines the concept of authentic luxury.

A symphony of color and symbolism
The central field displays linked hexagonal medallions in vibrant terracotta, each containing a microcosm of ancestral symbols: protective hooks, floral rosettes, fertility motifs. This rhythmic repetition creates a hypnotic visual effect where the eye constantly discovers new details within the complexity of the design.
The side borders feature eight-pointed stars—a symbol of infinity and protection in Anatolian tradition—which alternate in terracotta, golden mustard, navy blue, and deep olive green. Each star is a universe of geometric precision, evidence of the hours of absolute concentration invested by the weaver.
The color palette is a celebration of natural pigments: warm terracotta hues reminiscent of Anatolian soil, golden yellows like saffron, deep indigo blues, and ancestral greens of wild herbs. Colors that don't shout but converse with one another with the sophistication of centuries of aesthetic refinement.

The privilege of silk
The silk elevates this kilim to the status of a textile jewel. Unlike wool, each silk fiber requires meticulous control of its tension—a single error compromises the entire piece. The result is a surface of unparalleled luster that changes with the daylight: matte in dimness, luminous in direct sunlight, always revealing chromatic depths impossible in other materials.
With time and careful use, silk develops a noble patina that enhances its beauty—a living testament to the stories it witnesses. The silky texture beneath bare feet is a sensory experience that transforms the everyday act of walking into a small daily luxury.

Investment in living assets
Only a tiny percentage of weavers possess the mastery necessary to work silk at this level. This is not ordinary artisanal production—it is high-end textile craftsmanship reserved for exceptional pieces destined for collectors who understand the difference between expensive and truly valuable.

A silk rug of this size and complexity represents months of dedicated work. Each day of labor translates into centimeters of perfection that will last for generations, becoming a family heirloom that increases in historical and emotional value with time.
