About the Item
This is Central Anatolian Vintage with a rare and beautiful color composition.
It is a long and thin runner that reaches up to three meters. What is amazing is the intricately woven intricate patterns all over the surface. It is clear at a glance that it was a laborious weaving process. Even more amazing is the beauty of the colors. The magic of the patterns and colors makes what should be a flat weaving feel multi-dimensional. It gives
a sense of depth to the weaving. Red, black, navy blue, white, and orange - all of these colors retain their beautiful colors and complement each other, but perhaps due to the environment in which it was used or differences in the dyeing process, a gradation of color appears throughout the long weave, which adds to the wavy beauty and the fact that it can take on a variety of different expressions depending on where it is placed and the amount of light, making it the charm of this kilim.
As early as the 13th century Marco Polo noted, in his account of his travels to the region, that superlative rugs were to be found in the Konya area. Fortunately, the art of weaving good kilims has not died out even today, for there are small quantities of kilims still being made with hand-spun wool and mainly natural colors. As the capacity for such production is not large and prices remain high, it is unlikely that commercialism will corrupt these enterprises.
Konya, in south-central Anatolia, was the capital of the Seljuk Empire from the mid-eleventh to the thirteenth century and was in its prime during that period. Many of Konya's impressive buildings were constructed at that time by the Seljuk sultans in an architectural style reflecting Persian and Byzantine influence. Previously known as Iconium, this is one of the oldest urban centers in the world: according to Phrygian legend, Konya was the first city to rise from the waters after the great flood. Excavations here have revealed bones from the Bronze Age (c. 3000 BC). In the third century, the town was mainly occupied by the Greeks.
Konya has always been an important center for religion, culture, and trade, and also as a collection point for the many weaving centers nearby. The mystical order of the Whirling Dervishes was established in the town in the twelfth century by Mevlana Celal ad-Din ar-Rumi, an Afghan from Balkh, and a dervish festival is held in Konya during December. This festival is tolerated but has suffered government oppression since the time of Ataturk. During Ottoman times the dervishes were powerful, but Ataturk viewed the group as contrary to the modern development of Turkey, and many monasteries have now been turned into museums. Konya continues to be a very religious place and presently is becoming even more so.
Konya kilims feature the most varied compositions found in Anatolia, and there have been a great number of kilims made there over the centuries. Old Konya kilims still occasionally appear on the market today - but not necessarily in Konya itself. Although patterns are very diverse, they generally have much decoration covering the whole field of the kilim - a design format of large hexagonal motifs with extending hooked arms is a well-known characteristic. Again, a great variety of colors is used, most often of a lighter palette than in eastern Anatolia. Some very fine kilims have emerged, but in general, the kilims are of the medium-fine texture of weave, mostly made in slitweave technique with some çiçim. New kilims tend to be woven on thick warps. Konya kilims are made in all sizes, although there are fewer medium sizes. Ladik, Çumra and Eregli all lie close to Konya. Ladik is best known for its carpet production. It does, however, produce kilims that often have tulip motifs incorporated into the design. Weaving in Çumra has long since ceased, but the remaining kilims are similar. Recent Eregli kilims are well made with good wool and tend towards the dark colors that greatly benefit from sun-fading.

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.
