The Konya Jewel
The Konya Jewel
Details
A beautiful handwoven vintage Turkish kilim from the Konya region of Anatolia, woven in richly saturated jewel tones of turquoise, plum, raspberry, aubergine and deep berry red.
The striking geometric motifs and bold tribal patterning are characteristic of traditional Anatolian weaving, creating a piece that feels both timeless and wonderfully contemporary. The colours shift beautifully throughout the day, bringing warmth and character to hallways, kitchens, bedrooms and living spaces.
Handwoven from wool using traditional flatweave techniques, this is a genuine vintage piece with all the charm and individuality that comes from a life well lived.
No two rugs like this are ever quite the same.

The colours. The extraordinary turquoise ground paired with deep berry and plum tones gives this kilim a painterly quality that feels far more collected than decorated.

One of a kind
Materials + Care
The majority of our pieces are vintage or handmade and are chosen for their character as much as their beauty.
• Natural signs of age and wear are part of their story.
• Spot clean where possible.
• Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
• Professional cleaning is recommended for larger textiles and rugs.
• Wool and natural fibres benefit from occasional airing and gentle care.
Kantha textiles are made from layers of reclaimed sari cloth and are designed to be lived with and loved. Should your piece ever need a little extra care, I am always happy to send complimentary Kantha patches from my collection of scraps for sympathetic repairs. Sometimes the mending simply becomes part of the story.
