Antique Filikli Turkish Rug with Polychrome Stacked Niches
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 stacked niches seen here is an ancient Turkic pattern, rendered here with Modernistic simplicity.
