Antique Aleppo Runner Kilim Rug Anatolia Old Turkish Carpet Wool Natural Dye

About the Item

This is an Antique runner Kilim from the Aleppo region with a rare and beautiful color composition. It is a luxurious kilim that looks like it has been dyed with all the colors that can be dyed from the natural world and has been lavishly used and woven into it. Dyeing so many different colors is a difficult task, and it must have also been difficult to weave them into such a masterpiece. This is perhaps the best and greatest work of a weaver's life. The colors that change and appear in a variety of colors are like looking at a kaleidoscope. Furthermore, each color has a tasteful abrasive, making the range of colors seem endless. In addition, the countless random patterns and their arrangement are free, giving a sense of lively movement. That's why you can watch it forever without getting bored. This is a wonderfully selected piece that allows you to feel that kilim is a very organic, beautiful, and woven fabric that is full of life. Although it is beautiful like brocade, it is not flashy in the slightest and is like a jewel. It is a valuable piece of antique not only for the person who owns it but also for humanity.

Antique Malatya Kilim South Anatolia Runner Rug, Turkish Natural Carpet
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is a Southern Anatolian Antique Kilim from the Malatya region with a rare and beautiful color composition. It was originally a kilim with two halves, but this is one half. Encountering such a piece is precious. Half of them are somewhere else in the world, or they are the survivors of Kilims who might otherwise have disappeared from this world due to special damage that is difficult to repair. Kilim is such an organic existence. That's why you can enjoy the encounter with your piece a once-in-a-lifetime chance. As you can see at a glance, each color is a very beautiful kilim. You can enjoy the goodness of ablush from the deep red to the bright color close to orange. Dark blue, orange, khaki, and white complement each other, making each color more vivid. What makes it unique is the beauty of khaki. Also, the dark brown on the border that tightens all the colors is a modest presence, but I think it's very beautiful to change the expression. 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.

Antique Malatya Runner Kilim Rug South Eastern Anatolia Turkish Natural Carpet
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is a South Eastern Anatolian Antique runner Kilim from the Malatya region with a rare and beautiful color composition. Malatya is Turkey's main kilim production area, and there are many variations. This is one of them, a runner-type kilim. The thread is thin and the weave is very fine and dense. Some metallic threads are used in this antique kilim, which is rarely seen in Anatolian kilims. Red, navy blue, and gray are the colors that determine the impression of this kilim. Other colors such as brown, yellow, and light blue are also used in the patterns. The wavy horizontal striped pattern, plain pattern, and lined motif pattern are woven together to create a kilim that looks like an obi. The pattern of the motif and the pattern of the wave are about the same amounts, giving a lively impression without getting busy. The deep shades of colors and patterns that are familiar to each other are unique to antiques. However, it still retains good coloring which makes it hard to believe that it is antique. The runner type is a good type to make this kilim unique. Also, for those who want to create a different kind of home, the use of runners is very effective.
