About the Item

Handwoven in a wool flatweave in Turkey circa 1920-1930, this 2x5 piece is a bag once used in the daily lives of tribal and nomadic people. On the Design: Drawing on Afghan tribal sensibilities, this archaic piece of art exhibiting an old-world charm has a construction that is especially formidable among flatweaves, and it’s aged beautifully in kind. Keen eyes alike will note the rIch red with a beautiful natural abrash and patine underscores multicolor geometric patterns—primitivist motifs with an embroidered, textural distinction on the surface that lives beautifully wherever it is used. It’s a collectible piece of history and folk art alike, full of rustic charm and old world beauty. Connoisseurs may further admire the subtle sense of movement that its color variations lend the geometry—a subdued, but intriguing departure from traditional bag kilims of its period. It’s a fine play of rustic geometric patterns in a reserved, sophisticated manner, and its size offers vast design applications. Condition: This antique Turkish bag kilim enjoys good condition for its age and origin. It is a very collectible piece, well suited to wall-hanging tapestry projects and other decorative purposes.
