Handmade Vintage Azarbijan Kilim Carpet 1940s 440 x 175cm (14.4′ x 5.7′)

This vintage Azerbaijani kilim carpet is a powerful statement piece from the mid-20th century, defined by bold tribal character and timeless design. Woven as a large-format kilim, it carries a strong sense of presence that instantly anchors a room. The all-over medallion layout is rich with geometric symbolism, arranged across a striking red and blue palette that has softened beautifully with age. The colours retain depth and warmth, offering visual impact without feeling harsh or overpowering. Every motif reflects a weaving tradition shaped by tribal life, movement, and meaning. A distinctive feature of this piece is its traditional two-halves construction. Carefully woven in sections and later joined, this method adds authenticity and subtle individuality, details that confirm its handmade origin and set it apart from modern flatweaves. Made from durable wool, this kilim balances strength with flexibility, making it suitable for everyday living while still feeling special. Whether placed in a sitting room, kitchen, or open-plan space, it works as both a functional floor covering and a decorative centrepiece. This is not a mass-produced rug. It is a vintage textile with history, character, and soul. Ideal for interiors that value originality and understated luxury.
