Rare and of absolute poetry. I am offering for sale this superb vintage kilim originating from the famous weaving school of Kotel (Bulgaria), measuring 208 X 118 cm. Acquired in the early 1990s, it displays a mythical pattern that is highly symbolic against a peach/pastel background of exceptional rarity for this type of Balkan textile. A vibrant textile artwork: The central field is rhythmically adorned with two large stylised "Trees of Life" that rise elegantly. At the heart of the branches, the sacred fauna of Kotel comes to life: one can discover silhouettes of white birds symbolising fertility and connection, as well as a magnificent little turquoise peacock nestled near the geometric crenellated border. Technical characteristics & Condition: • Material: 100% pure dense and heavy wool. • Weaving: Extremely tight, robust traditional flat weave, fully reversible. • Condition: Overall very beautiful vintage condition. The fringes and borders are well preserved. Note: a discreet mark of local use attests to its authentic history and retro charm, without altering the solidity or visual splendour of the piece. With its soft and bright colour palette (peach, turquoise, cream, soft green), this kilim will bring a warm, chic bohemian or unique Wabi-Sabi atmosphere to an entrance, office, or living room.
