Southwestern Salazar Turkish Hand-Woven Kilim Pillow

A maroon hooked diamond holds a sage and gold center on a light blue and cream ground. The centered motif makes it a natural focal point on a sofa or bed. Hand woven in Turkey, this blue, red and beige kilim throw pillow measures 18 x 18 inches (46 x 46 cm) and brings a collected, well-traveled look.

Kilim weaving is one of the oldest textile traditions in Turkey, and its diamonds, hooks and stripes each carry meaning for the weavers who make them. Woven by hand from hand-spun wool, the kilim front has a smooth, tight flat weave with crisp geometric edges and the soft color variation of abrash. It is durable enough for a busy family room, with a cotton back and a soft, hypoallergenic polyfill insert.

It looks great on a leather sofa, a porch swing or a nursery glider. Set it against white, cream or gray upholstery and let the color pop, or layer it with leather and natural wood for a rustic, cabin feel.
