Galeri Cengiz Konya Kilim Turkish Hand-Woven Wool Rug with Certificate
Annihilate the landfill, bring centuries of Anatolian craft to your entryway
This is the real deal — a 100% hand-woven kilim from Konya, Turkey, complete with its original certificate of authenticity from Galeri Cengiz in Istanbul's Arasta Bazaar. The slit-weave technique creates those distinctive stepped diamond medallions in a riot of teal, coral, cobalt, and cream. Pure wool throughout, with that satisfying flatweave heft that'll lie beautifully without a pad. Fringes are thick and intact; colors remain vibrant with no fading. A professor's living room find that clearly saw minimal foot traffic.
