About the Item
This is an old vintage kilim from the Kars region in northeastern Anatolia.
The old sector and newer southern districts of Kars are joined by a bridge built by the Seljuk Turks over the Kars Cayi River. The town was occupied by an independent Armenian group during the ninth and tenth centuries AD, by the Seljuks from the eleventh to the thirteenth century, and by the Mongols for part of the thirteenth century. Incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in the early fifteenth century, the town saw many further rulers from the eighteenth century onwards, being invaded firstly by Iran, and then by the Russians before being returned to Turkey in 1918. Despite severe winters, the surrounding area is used for arable farming and raising livestock and is well known for its cheese production. Kilims woven since 1950 are distinctive for their natural brown wool warps and for their dull coloring of browns, oranges, and pinks, as well as for their long and narrow shape. Because of their impractical Size, many have ended up being made into fashion accessories in the West. Designs are geometric and are woven in slitweave with thick warps that result in coarsely woven rugs with long fringes. Many çuval and yastiks are woven in the Kars region. The older kilims from this area are usually attributed to Kagizman. They are very different from the later weavings of Kars, as they were closely woven and used mainly natural dyes. Kars and Kagizman kilims often feature geometric medallions, some similar to Caucasian designs. Prayer kilims were also woven, although less so in recent years, and generally of a larger size than most. A pale blue ground is sometimes favored for the niche itself. Kagizman kilims have a dark and rich palette of browns, reds, blues, greens, and yellow; prayer kilims are generally lighter in tone.

This is a South Anatolian old vintage Kilim from the Antalya region with a rare and beautiful color composition.
Founded in 200 BC by Attalus II, king of Pergamum, Antalya, then named Attaleia, has always been a bustling port. During the Crusades, the town was used for the embarking of troops on their way to Palestine, as it was a Byzantine stronghold at Antalya that was captured by Seljuks in the early 12th century, and late in the 15th century it became part of the Ottoman Empire. There are many interesting monuments in the town such as the Hadrian Gate, a three-arched marble portal...

Antique Malatya Kilim Rug Old South Eastern Anatolian Turkish Carpet
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is a South Eastern Anatolian antique 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 an 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...
