Vintage Malatya Kilim Rug Old Anatolian Turkish Carpet
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is a South Eastern Anatolian old vintage Kilim from the Malatya region with a rare and beautiful color composition.
Malatya is a town built on one main street that continues for several miles. It is situated in the Tohmasuyu River basin which is encircled by the high peaks of the eastern Taurus Mountains. This is a fertile agricultural region, particularly for apricots, and has been a prolific weaving area for many years. The modern town was established in 1838; old Malatya, which is close by, was once an important city in Armenia Minor. In Roman times it was important as a garrison town on the eastern frontier, and the settlement came under Ottoman rule in the early fifteenth century. Considering the number of kilims woven in this region there is a surprising lack of diversity in design, especially in the larger kilims; this is possibly a direct result of the Kurdish tribal tradition of weaving only one type of design. Small prayer rugs...

Limonaire Organ Figure, circa 1880
Located in London, GB
Antique Limonaire organ figure from Paris, circa 1880
This very rare artefact is originally believed to be from a 52-key ‘De Gouden Limonaire’ (The Golden Limonaire) this highly collectable French organ figure is in overall wonderful condition for its age. The figure is made from sectioned pieces of hand carved wood and painted with polychrome layered surfaces (this item has been painted a few times over time as expected, the layers can be seen in the worn and faded sections of this item). The figure comes with its original base, made with wood and layered with velvet. This item is completely secure in stature. Quite simply this is a very rare and wonderfully quirky decorative original 52 – Key De Gouden Limonaire carved organ figure from Paris.
Limonaire History: The firm of Limonaires Freres (Limonaire Brothers) was also an early entry into the organ business, founded in 1840. From the late 1890’s most organs were of the “book” system, although some paper roll or “keyless” models were made. Organs of the early 20th century were sold under the “Orchestronphone” trade name. In the 1900-1910 era, Limonaire sold different models with elaborate facades that often were incorporated into a ticket booth or large Bioscope show front on amusement rides. Peek production occurred during 1900 to 1914. Linonaire had a factory in Paris and also one in Waldkirch, Germany. Limonaire also produced a line of instruments called “Jazzbandophone” that had ornate facades with heavy carving and figures even on the small size instruments. Most of these Jazz instruments have a very mellow sweet tone which makes Limonaire among the best fairground organs...
