Turkish Rustic Nunn Hand Woven Kilim Pillow

Two pink and yellow centered diamonds sit side by side inside green and red stepped bands. The pattern runs edge to edge, so it looks full and lively from any angle. At 22 x 15 inches (56 x 38 cm), this hand woven Turkish kilim lumbar pillow in red, blue and beige adds instant color and texture.

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 king or queen bed in front of the sleeping pillows, an accent chair or a dining bench. 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.
