$ on request
An exquisite example of Anatolian kilim weaving tradition from a region known with its finely woven masterpieces. Most antique Erzurum kilims feature a prayer arch design, which must have been popular among the local patrons for whom such fine kilim were made. This one features a rare design of stylized flowers in exemplary natural colors. A top flight collectible.
