Western Anatolian Turkish Carpet, Balkan Style Unique
About the Item
This is a vintage Unique Sarkoy (Sharkoy or Sarköy) Kilim rug from Western Turkey with a rare and beautiful color composition.
Sarkoy kilims are very finely woven in slitweave in a variety of sizes and are made in one piece. Many feature the tree of life composition that is often used in a multitude of repeats on large kilims, and singly on smaller sizes. Birds also regularly appear either as filler motifs, border designs, or depicted sitting on the branches of the tree. Other motifs include stylized leaves, either on the Tree of life or incorporated into a leaf and vine border pattern. Trees, birds, and leaves are also found enclosed by small prayer arches arranged in rows down the field of the kilim, or sometimes as a border pattern. Prayer arch kilims were also woven, as well as some designs with hooked diamond-shaped medallions. Sarkoy motifs are very stylized, although figurative, and often resemble modern-day computer graphics. The colors are dark red, blue, and green, with a little yellow and white. More modern kilims tend to feature a harsh bright red, black, and white, although the weaving is still very fine. One type of Bulgarian Sarkoy kilim has serrated medallion patterns and a color palette of brown, beige, or yellow, dark and light blue. Again, many sizes are woven in one piece, and these are of a squarer shape than most Anatolian kilims.

ARARAT RUGS
We know and believe that the geography we come from, our past, and our lifestyle are the most important bond between us to carry the oriental carpet art and culture to the next generations along with our core values in our ongoing growth journey.
We are aware that the way to achieve this goal and carry this priceless art and culture to the future depends on a lot of work with all our people every day while adhering to our core values.
For us, art is meaningful in the sense that it brings together various cultures around the world. It is an honor for us that oriental carpet art and culture have been instrumental in this for centuries and that we are a part of this business.
We are tirelessly keeping an eye on auction house information around the world about carpets. New York's Metropolitan, London's Victoria & Albert Museums, and other famous art museums, as well as small specialized museums that house private collections, and books about oriental carpets to collect information on outstanding carpet designs and patterns from around the world. It's our Self-improving and Self-developing culture.
As Turkish Culture of Hospitality, the Kurdish Culture of Generosity, and as Japanese Culture of Business Punctuality; are the most important values that this multicultural background has taught and bequeathed to us. It is essential and valuable for us that you feel this feeling not only by looking at our oriental carpets but from the moment you contact us.
