Old Vintage Esme Kilim Western Anatolian Turkish Carpet
About the Item
This is a Western Anatolian vintage Kilim from the Esme ( Eshme ) region with a rare and beautiful color composition.
This type of large Esme Kilims often features hexagonal medallions, either arranged in pairs or woven singly as central motifs, with smaller infill designs decorating the rest of the field and borders. These kilims have gained great favor in the Western markets as they are woven in one piece, are not too long and narrow, and fade to soft colors. Sadly, many have ended up being made into sofas, cushions, and other soft furnishings that happened to be in vogue at the time, but this is an inevitable consequence of the versatility of kilims. Small Esme kilims are woven in a variety of designs, and copies of old Aydin and Kula prayer-arch compositions with tree-of-life motifs are often found. The coloring of Esme kilims is similar to that of Denizli, but a little softer: red and pink, purple and blue that fade to grey, as well as black, orange, and some yellow. Both areas use slitweave, with medium- to fine-spun wool, and cotton is often used for the warps. Esme kilims have more detailed designs and a finer quality of weaving.

ARARAT RUGS
We know and believe that the geography we come from, our past, and our lifestyle are the most important bond between us to carry the oriental carpet art and culture to the next generations along with our core values in our ongoing growth journey.
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. It is essential and valuable for us that you feel this feeling not only by looking at our oriental carpets but from the moment you contact us.
