About the Item

This is an old kilim from Manastir, in Central Anatolia. At first glance, it gives a completely different impression from other Central Anatolian kilims—both in color and design. Manastir kilims were traditionally woven by Muslim communities who migrated from the Balkans. Influenced by a region where diverse peoples lived and Eastern and Western cultures merged, these kilims carry a distinct character in both pattern and color. Their style is more closely aligned with kilims from European Turkey, such as those from Sharkoy (Şarköy). This piece reflects that heritage in many ways: its finely woven structure using tightly spun, thin yarn; its striking color combination of deep blue, bright red, and white; and its detailed craftsmanship. Yet, it also stands out with a bold and simple design full of originality—expressive, vibrant, and unique. The strong contrast and striking motifs are balanced by subtle slits between colors and the soft, faded hues created over time. These elements bring harmony and a gentle, lived-in feel, making it an easy and stylish addition to modern interiors. This Central Anatolian Old Kilim is a beautiful piece steeped in history and culture, adding a special character to your interior space.

Antique Malatya Kilim South Eastern Anatolian Rug Turkish Carpet
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is a Southern Anatolian Antique Kilim from the Malatya region with a rare and beautiful color composition. This kilim is listed in the book; Kilims Flat-woven Tapestry Rugs, Yanni Petsopoulos, 1979 Rizzoli New York, plate nr. 241. The brocaded bands cross the entire width of the field forming panels contained within very narrow borders. Their decoration consists of a series of alternating large and small concentric hooked lozenges. 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.
