Vintage Polish Kilim

January 13, 2010 by Jane T 1 Comment

retro color vintage poish kilim rug - AtticmagRetro colors and artistic composition are uncommon Polish kilim features.

I’ve seen a lot of kilim rugs.  Most have the customary tribal motifs and dark colors.  I will admit I’ve never been a fan of flat-woven rugs, especially kilims.  The style has always been a bit too, I don’t know…rustic for my taste, which most would find surprising because my home decor is on the rustic side.  When a customer brought in this Polish kilim from the 1960s, it was then I realized I had just never seen the right kilim.

retro colored vintage polish kilim rug - AtticmagThis mid-century modern looking kilim in familiar shades of avocado green and harvest gold struck my nostalgia radar.  Suddenly it felt like the 60s again.  But I knew it was more than the retro vibe of the rug that drew me in.  I was intrigued by its symmetry. I’m a sucker for symmetry.

This is one rug I would have bought without hesitation.  Unfortunately, the owner loved it as much as I did and wasn’t interested in selling. Sigh.
