9 x 12 inherited rug
9 x12
Hello, this item is a flat woven wool rug measuring approximately 9 by 12 feet, executed in a bold geometric design with a deep red field, stepped diamond motifs, stylized floral elements, and a contrasting border with repeating triangular and hooked forms. The weaving technique, lack of pile, and graphic ornamentation indicate a kilim rather than a knotted carpet. The design language and color palette are consistent with Anatolian or Caucasian inspired kilims produced in the mid to late 20th century, either in Turkey or for the export market. The wool appears hand spun and naturally dyed or dye styled, and the rug shows traditional slit tapestry construction typical of kilim weaving.
The rug appears to be in good overall condition, with visible fringe wear at one end and light surface wear consistent with age and normal domestic use, but no major structural damage or extensive losses evident in the images. In the current market, large decorative kilims of this size are valued primarily for visual impact and condition rather than age or rarity. Comparable 9 by 12 kilims typically trade between $1,200 and $2,500 USD depending on condition, color retention, and craftsmanship.
