I am searching for a kilim rug in similar colours (it should have purple in it!) as the one in the image above (from Tine K). Does anyone know a good source? Or perhaps do you know where this rug is from (Turkey or is it an Afghan kilim rug?) Your help is appreciated as I have been searching the net for days now without any luck..
Try the Chaldea Kilim Gallery in the Volksstraat in Antwerp. No website though so you’d need to make a trip to Antwerp 🙂
Try roni jaco at

she hand selected all her rugs in Turkey and has some with purple. I don’t know what size you need. please let me know if this works for you and tell her I sent you–Kathy
Hi! If you go to http://www.tinekhome.dk (where the photo is from) you can email the owner Tine and ask her! Good luck! I love the rug too! 🙂
Thanks for all your help! My rug search is turning into an obsession..
Hi, love your blog.
Another great (Danish) source is http://www.brandtsindoor.dk/butik/butik.htm
I recieved a press mail the other day about new/old kelims that she has dyed purple, looks faboulous! Mail me and I will forward it to you. Funny, cause I did a post on the excact same object last week. Again – in danish, but here it i http://thesweetspotdk.blogspot.com/2009/08/et-flyvende-tppe.htmls
Happy hunting
Hi, love your blog.
Go to another great Dane, Brandts Indoor. I did a post on the subject last week here http://thesweetspotdk.blogspot.com/2009/08/et-flyvende-tppe.html
I have a mail on Brandt Indoors news, including purple-dyed kelims, looks amazing! Mail me and I will forward it to you.
Wow, I’ve never seem a purple kilim before so I’m no help! It’s stunning though, good luck on your hunt!
This is a Turkish kilim and I’m sure you can find a similar one at http://www.kilim.com. They are the number one source for kilim rugs.
Did you ever find the rug? I want one too!
Hi, we have a rug, not same design but Colors are Close:
