13'9" x 18'11" (419cm x 577cm) Turkey, Southeast Anatolia: Mid-20th Century Flat-weave (kilim): wool, goat hair
$8,550
A very large tribal flat-weave from Southeastern Turkey, woven with goat hair and wool in multicolored bands. A kilim like this would have been used as a utilitarian, everyday floor cover in the weaver's household. Despite its humble origins, this is a very appealing piece with authentic simplicity.
