Mid-Century Mexican Saltillo Kilim | 5'4" x 2'6" | c. 1950–1960
$1,200.00
Details
A playful and rhythmic vintage flatweave, this Saltillo-style kilim is anchored by rich tawny camel and bands of deep oxblood, punctuated by a repeating field of diamond rosettes rendered in pumpkin, ochre, eggplant, and ink. The geometric motifs and linear layout evoke traditional Mexican textile iconography, while the handwoven wool base has mellowed with time to a soft, earthy palette. A rare piece with folkloric charm and strong visual cadence.
