Turkish Kilim Ottoman

This exceptional Turkish Kilim Ottoman features an accent seat upholstered with carefully selected fragments of an antique carpet from Turkey, richly adorned with symbolic motifs such as the tree of life, ram’s horns, and the iconic hand-on-the-hips Anatolian Goddess. These symbols speak to deep cultural meanings and traditions, making this chair a truly unique, one-of-a-kind piece. Originally, these kilims and carpets were woven to serve practical functions—covering floors or divans, which are raised benches used for sitting or sleeping. Over time, areas affected by wear have been thoughtfully repurposed, with the intact parts recycled and transformed into beautiful pillowcases or upholstery, as demonstrated with this chair. Crafted entirely from 100% hand-spun mountain wool and handwoven in the early 20th century, this furniture embodies both the enduring craftsmanship of Anatolian artisans and the rich nomadic heritage they preserve. Combining functionality with cultural significance, it offers a distinctive addition to interiors seeking authentic history and timeless artistry.
