Madder Red Pirot / Sharkoy Kilim • Vintage European Flatweave Area Rug (7'3"x10'2")

Madder Red Semi-antique Pirot / Sharkoy Kilim Rug • Handmade Flatweave Wool Carpet • 7x10 European Vintage Area Rug for Living Room, Bedroom, Dining, Kitchen & Study

✔  This rug carries a bold, steady confidence—graphic, rhythmic, and deeply rooted in Balkan tradition. The composition is precise and orderly, with rows of repeating lozenge medallions that create a strong visual cadence across the field. It feels intentional and architectural, offering impact without chaos and pattern without excess.

A warm madder red field anchors the design, alive with subtle tonal movement that gives the surface warmth and depth rather than flat color. Each medallion is rendered in soft greys, muted lavender, olive, and charcoal, punctuated by crisp ivory details that keep the pattern sharp and legible. The wide ivory border, filled with stylized tribal motifs, frames the rug beautifully and adds contrast and balance, reinforcing its classic Pirot character.

Handwoven entirely from wool, this vintage European kilim has a tight, durable flatweave with a smooth, low-profile surface that wears exceptionally well. At 7'3" × 10'2", it works effortlessly in living rooms, dining spaces, or larger bedrooms—bringing structure, heritage, and a confident sense of pattern to the room.
