A vibrant American original, this vintage Southwestern kilim was handwoven during the third quarter of the 20th century in the enduring flatweave tradition of the American Southwest. Its dynamic pattern of alternating wide and narrow stripes in lavender, gray, black, and ivory carries the cool, high-desert palette of New Mexico and Arizona — colors that feel contemporary even decades after the rug was woven. As a flat-woven kilim, it is fully reversible: one face shows slightly softer tones from years of natural light exposure, while the reverse retains deeper, more saturated colors, offering two distinct design options in a single piece. Its square-friendly proportions work beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, and layered rug arrangements.
The warm, high-desert palette and the authentic handmade character of this kilim make it a standout addition to any interior that values genuine American craft.
