Baskets is a kilim by Splot based on a design by Edward Trojanowski, a versatile artist who painted and designed interiors, stained glass, furniture, stamps and kilims, and for whom neither technique nor scale was ever an obstacle. Trojanowski presented the “Baskets” kilim at the Paris exhibition of 1925. Its repetitive, decorative pattern, reminiscent of textile repeats, brings a sense of harmony and elegance to the wall where it hangs.
The kilim is woven in Gliniany, near Lviv, where kilims were already being crafted by the mid-1800s. Weaving there is still done on traditional, non-automated looms, and each square meter represents roughly one week of work by skilled craftswomen.
The Gliniany workshop works primarily with designs from the 1920s and 1930s. Thinner, recycled wool makes it possible to recreate the intricacies of these historical compositions, and weaving on a cotton warp gives the kilims softness and lightness, underscoring their subtle, almost sketch-like character.
This tapestry is not suitable for use as a rug.
