About the Item
This is an old kilim from Malatya, one of the major kilim-producing regions in Eastern Anatolia. Known for both the quality and quantity of its weavings, Malatya offers a rich variety of kilim styles.
This particular piece stands out for its uniquely expressive use of color. Although the tones are generally deep and subdued, they somehow radiate a vibrant, unexpected sense of colorfulness.
The flatwoven base is composed of horizontal stripes in purple and brown, blue and brown, and moss green and brown. These are interspersed with decorative bands featuring ochre and red, and sections of cicim (supplementary weft brocade) that resemble a row of medallions. While each color is relatively muted, the way they are combined and placed next to one another creates a surprisingly bold and colorful impression.
For example, you can spot faint red weft threads woven at the edges of the brown stripes, creating a striking contrast against adjacent purples, blues, and greens. The ochre bands—yellowish in tone—might harmonize near the moss green but are deliberately placed beside contrasting purples and blues.
The wide cicim motifs incorporate vivid hues of red, blue, yellow, and white, standing out clearly on their own. The weaver’s sense of color harmony is truly impressive.
Though the color scheme might seem mismatched at first glance, the overall balance is remarkably well composed, resulting in a kilim full of distinctive charm and visual intrigue.

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.
