8'2" x 12'3" (249cm x 373cm) Turkey, Northeast Anatolia: Late 20th Century Flat-weave (kilim), slit-tapestry technique: wool
$5,950
A large and sturdy kilim from the far northeastern corner of Turkey, the provinces of Kars and Artvin, where local weaving traditions survived far longer than the rest of the country.
The design consists of large, concentric, multicolored diamonds, formed by an endless repeat of the so-called “hands-on-hips” motif. Notice the four “ibrik”, water pitcher motifs in the center.
A very high quality example and a rare and exciting find.
