While sourcing vintage rugs, Sarah carefully selects the most exquisite, statement-making pieces - woven artworks in their own right. Ava is one such find.
 
Handcrafted using traditional flat-weaving techniques from the Arsin tribe, Ava features a mesmerizing tapestry of hundreds of birds, each intricately detailed with vibrant pops of colour. Framed by a deep navy blue border, this kilim reflects the rich heritage of nomadic artisans, where such motifs symbolise freedom and harmony with nature.
 
Whether displayed in a minimal, contemporary space or integrated into a bold, characterful interior, Ava brings a sense of wonder, history, and artistic craftsmanship to any setting.  A tapestry full of life, colour, and endless discovery - Ava invites you to take a closer look.
 
You have options for hanging these smaller Kilims.  By default, they come with four or five ring clips that can be easily looped over screw-in wall hooks or attached to a wooden baton. Alternatively, Sarah can add contrasting distressed wooden batons, painted with eco-friendly Edward Bulmer paint, as shown in the final few images. These are just two suggestions, but with their lightweight design, there are countless other ways to hang and display these beautiful pieces to suit your style.
 
The resulting art is completely unique, and will never be seen in another home.  The wall hangings can be hung as a statement on their own, or amongst a mix of styles of art to create an eclectic wall decor scheme.  They can of course still be used on the floor too!
 
The bold colours and distinctive designs of Kilim tapestries are intentional, reflecting the history and culture of the tribal communities that made them. That’s why every piece sourced is a one-off, a piece of original art capturing the history and story of its maker that takes on a new life as a feature in your home.
