This is a Central Anatolian Antique Kilim from the Sivas region with a rare mighrab design and beautiful color composition. In the third century, Sivas was a Roman city known as Sebastea, the capital of Armenia Minor.

Turkish and Kurdish people inhabit the Sivas region, and until the genocide wrought by the Turks early this century, many Armenians dwelt there as well. Sivas gained certain fame as the site for the Sivas Congress of September 1919, convened by Mustafa Kemal...

This is a Southern Anatolian Antique Kilim from the Malatya region with a rare and beautiful color composition. Malatya is a town built on one main street that continues for a number of 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...
