Old Fethiye Kilim Western Anatolian Rug Turkish Carpet
About the Item
This is an old Western Anatolian Kilim from the Fethiye region with a red background and beautiful color composition.
The borders, medallions, and fields are densely woven with patterns. There are few rough edges, and it is a polite job. Red is the main color, but there are variations in shades, from colors close to vermillion to colors close to dark red. In addition, the colors that are combined are all calm and gentle and complement the red colors. Subdued pink, pale moss green, deep gray, and natural beige. These warm colors support each other and create a single world. In particular, the fine color weaving in the white ground weaving field is not particularly noticeable, but I feel that it is a beautiful part that makes you feel the weaver's thoughtfulness in every corner. It will surely make every place a space full of warmth.
Located on the Mediterranean Sea, in the bay of Fethiye with the western Taurus Mountains behind, Fethiye is built on the ancient Lycian site of Telmessus. The tombs and sarcophagi there date back to the fifth and fourth centuries BC and there is also a Byzantine fortress that stands ruined on a hill nearby. An earthquake in 1958 destroyed most of the old buildings in Fethiye, and yet it is now a popular tourist location, particularly as the picturesque town of Uludeniz lies close by.
From Fethiye comes an unusual composition that features an 'empty' center with busily decorated skirts. This center is usually woven in plain weave with red or pink colors, and occasionally a small floating central medallion is included. These kilims either have no borders or have a framing vertical line of contrasting colors, such as blue. It is possible that this format was used as a cover for coffins, like the saf compositions. Another popular composition is that of interconnecting hooked medallions covering the whole field, with narrow borders and skirts. Some çiçims are woven here that are generally a mixture of the plain weave in narrow bands of color and stripes of çiçim weave. Another design, often found in the supplementary weft-wrapping technique, is that of a star motif arranged in straight or diagonal rows over the main field of the kilim. Colors include blues, reds, browns, greens, oranges, and purple. The old kilims are woven in reds, pinks, blues, yellow, browns, and a little green. Most are made in slitweave, but some çiçim and zili technique is also used. The more recent examples tend to be woven with rather coarse wool, although they are on the whole well made. Kilims that are large and rectangular are most common, although small sizes also occur.

We are aware that the way to achieve this goal and carry this priceless art and culture to the future depends on a lot of work with all our people every day while adhering to our core values.
For us, art is meaningful in the sense that it brings together various cultures around the world. It is an honor for us that oriental carpet art and culture have been instrumental in this for centuries and that we are a part of this business.
We are tirelessly keeping an eye on auction house information around the world about carpets. New York's Metropolitan, London's Victoria & Albert Museums, and other famous art museums, as well as small specialized museums that house private collections, and books about oriental carpets to collect information on outstanding carpet designs and patterns from around the world. It's our Self-improving and Self-developing culture.
As Turkish Culture of Hospitality, the Kurdish Culture of Generosity, and as Japanese Culture of Business Punctuality; are the most important values that this multicultural background has taught and bequeathed to us.
