Antique Filikli Turkish Rug with Polychrome Concentric Rectangles
About the Item
Filikli rugs represent probably the earliest, most primitive form of weaving known to mankind, veritably untouched over the course of a few thousand years. These were originally intended as a woven substitute to fur, hence the long fleecy pile. Filiklis are woven using unspun mohair wool, which is then dip-dyed with the colour of choice; this rudimental method results in a non-uniform dyeing of the yarn, which ultimately contributes in creating a kind of woven sculpture, with long, cascading lustrous polychrome Angora wool in geometric, minimalist patterns. The design composed of concentric rectangles seen here imparts a strong Modernist feeling to the composition.

- Antique Minimalist Jajim Flat-Woven Rug with Vertical Polychrome StripesLocated in Milan, ITA graphic tribal Kilim composed of two joined panels each containing an array of polychrome vertical stripes in a variety of natural colors. The result is a wool flat-weave with a mirror image pattern, the central compartment being a twice as wide open field. What makes this example rather unique is the richness of the individual colors, obtained from natural dyes, as well the generous width of the vertical stripes. Furthermore, the quality of the individual dyes, which include a highly saturated saffron yellow and a clear coral red, are indicative of an early vintage. The piece is in pristine condition. The resulting visual effect is highly abstract and reminiscent more of Western contemporary art...Category
