4 x 6 Turkish Angora Wool Kilim Rug 53857

53857 Vintage Turkish Angora Wool Blanket Kilim Rug, 04'05 x 06'02.

Like a shepherd’s melody traced across the hills, this handwoven Turkish Angora kilim rug hums with the rhythm of tradition and the hush of the highland wind. Rendered in deep and rich black coffee mohair—sourced from the revered Angora goats of southeastern Turkey—its surface glows with a soft, almost nocturnal sheen. This dark field is not empty space, but fertile ground for the steady cadence of stripes, woven with a palette drawn from soil, stone, and wool.

Bands of warm tawny, beige, and gray alternate with lyrical precision, creating a visual rhythm both grounding and alive. These horizontal lines, common to Siirt weaving tradition, echo not only the structure of the loom but the logic of the land—furrowed fields, layered rock faces, the edge of the sky at dusk. Each stripe is slightly irregular, softened by the plush texture of hand-spun mohair, which blurs the boundaries between design and instinct, order and breath.

There is only the power of repetition and the quiet grace of restraint. This is the poetry of utility transformed into art, where weaving is not simply a craft but a dialogue with the natural world. The symmetrical striping draws the eye from end to end, evoking movement and stillness at once—like the slow tread of footsteps across familiar paths.

This Angora kilim is a celebration of what endures: earth-born color, ancestral touch, and the slow, deliberate process of creation. It carries with it the warmth of the loom and the wisdom of those who wove before. A rug not of grand gesture, but of deep presence, it speaks to those who find beauty in the honest and the elemental.
