Hailing from the Middle East, Central Asia, and modern-day Turkey, our collection of antique Turkish Anatolian kilim, flat-woven and hand-knotted rugs bears the telltale signs of a unique journey. Much more than ordinary floor coverings, these rugs may present themselves as a dowry of a bride, cradle of a baby, wall decor in a farmhouse, or grain bag of a villager. Unique to each region and village, the weaving materials, techniques, colors, patterns, and textures are aesthetic expressions that reflect the art, craft, and culture of Anatolian pastoral and nomadic life. 51-1/2" x 62-1/5" Historical Style: Traditional An unusual, focal point rug, with a nature scene depicting a reindeer, birds and trees. The central medallion is surrounded by a traditional floral border. Condition Notes: The colors are wonderfully bright, especially for a piece so old. Some worn areas where the white cotton warp can be seen below.
