A top-down photo taken at a salon in the 8th arrondissement, and it's immediately clear why the client wanted to share it with us. The 370 x 190 cm Zincirli kilim completely fills the space: grey sofa, terracotta chaise lounge, leather armchair, pink pouffe, plants everywhere. A lively, generous, somewhat jungle-like interior. Its antique reds, its medallions, and its hand-woven geometric borders from Anatolia absorb all of it without flinching. That's the essence of large antique kilims: the more cluttered the interior, the more they find their purpose.
