Turkish Kilim with Modern Motifs Turkish kilims incorporate many traditional symbols. Some traditional motifs are similar to those found at the 7000 BC prehistoric mound of Catal Huyuk, testifying to the very ancient traditions of flat-woven floor coverings in Anatolia. These symbols, passed down over generations, are meant to bring love, prosperity, fertility, beauty, and strength in the home of the weaver. The patterns and color schemes of rugs and kilims were dictated by local traditions and by the availability of fibers and dyes. Traditional patterns were created by the weaver and were handed down from mother to daughter.

Each artist demonstrated her personality in the way she combined motifs and colors to illustrate the events and emotions of her daily life. Therefore, the older, traditionally woven pieces are becoming more valuable as they become increasingly more difficult to find. Our Oriental Rug Gallery, located in Houston, Texas, offers designers and retail clients a large selection of antique, semi-antique, and new Persian, Indian, Turkish and European rugs and kilims. In our gallery, you will be able to find a collection of 19th to early 20th century pieces carefully selected for their suitability to the European and American design aesthetic and decorative taste. We also offer oriental rug cleaning, conservation, restoration, and valuation services. Please email us at sales@arturc.com with details, if you need more information.
