Dorothys Kilim

The delicately embroidered stripe design of this striking kilim lends to a room a diversity of pattern as well as added depth and a tactile finish. Dorothy’s Kilim draws from the original found in the bedroom of Dorothy Walker, the well-travelled daughter of Sir Emery (noted typographer and close friend of William Morris’s). This colourful kilim is decorated in the Persian style and features geometric motifs typical of kilims from the old Persian Empire — Turkey and Turkic states.]

Morris & Co. are thrilled to introduce only their second kilim ever for the Emery Walker’s House collection. Dorothy, like her father, travelled widely and rejoiced in the local craft traditions, as is evidenced by this iconic kilim.
