About the Item
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.
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. Small prayer rugs are more varied and often have great character and individuality. The quality of the kilims now woven in the region is deteriorating, and production for commercial purposes is slowly spreading into the villages. Large kilims generally feature three or four central medallions, while the smaller variety is usually decorated with one in the center. Some of these kilims have been referred to as 'Rashwan' weavings. The Rashwan was a Kurdish tribe that settled in parts of central and eastern Anatolia. These kilims are not easy to weave, for the designs are complicated and the filler motifs plentiful; indeed, their value has probably been underestimated by the market. Another variety of medallion kilim is also found in a smaller size and features a hexagonally shaped medallion with arms or hooks extending from the sides. This is used as a central motif arranged in a vertical line for smaller kilims, and for larger sizes, it is repeated in rows down the field. Such a motif is also found in Aksaray and Aleppo kilims, which have a lighter color palette. Banded kilims are borderless, and patterned with both narrow and wide alternating stripes. These are decorated with small motifs, often in supplementary weft-wrapping technique, and separated either by smaller patterned bands or by a plain color. Large sizes are made in two halves. As in other Kurdish weavings, a dark color palette of red, blue, brown, and some green is used that contrasts with undyed wool or bright white cotton. The wool is of good quality and lustrous, and sometimes very finely spun. Weaving techniques vary a great deal; some kilims incorporate both plain-weave and supplementary weft wrapping, although slitweave is predominantly used. The fringes of Malatya kilims are sometimes plaited. Many different sizes are found - large kilims, generally woven in two halves, small kilims, yastiks (cushions), and çuval (sacks).

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.
