Modern Art Deco kilim – 297 × 195 cm

A red flame breathing at the center of a turquoise blue sky. Across 297 x 195 cm (9'9" × 6'5"), the shape expands, contracts, and expands again, like a heartbeat translated into natural wool by the weavers of northwestern Afghanistan.

Two colors, a single idea, and an inexplicable intensity. The red and the blue merge into one another at the edges, creating that irregular blur that only hand-weaving can produce. Place this piece, and the space changes.

Unique piece.
