Southwestern Turkish Barton Hand Woven Kilim Throw Pillow

A black and white hooked diamond with a green heart sits on a soft lavender and sage ground. With the design centered, it looks finished from across the room. At 18 x 18 inches (46 x 46 cm), this one-of-a-kind boho kilim throw pillow in gold, blue and rust is an easy way to refresh a room.

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.

Try 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.
