Bohemian Turkish Tucker Hand Woven Kilim Pillow

A long red diamond outline holds a pink and aqua center, set on a dusty teal ground with pink trim. With the design centered, it looks finished from across the room. Hand woven in Turkey, this red, blue and beige kilim throw pillow measures 18 x 18 inches (46 x 46 cm) and brings a collected, well-traveled look.

Kilims have been woven by hand in Anatolia for centuries, and their bold geometric motifs are some of the most recognized designs in textile art. The front is a hand woven wool kilim. A kilim is a flat weave, so the wool threads are woven tightly in and out by hand instead of being knotted, which gives the pattern its crisp, stepped edges. The hand-spun wool shows soft, natural shifts in color, called abrash, and with no pile to crush or shed it stays smooth and durable. It has a cotton back and a soft, hypoallergenic polyfill insert.

Use it on a guest bed, a leather sofa or a porch swing. Designer tip: pair it with a solid linen pillow in one of its colors and a simple stripe, so the kilim pattern stays the star.
