Antique Sivas Traditional Kilim Central Anatolian Old Rug Turkish Wool Carpet
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is Central Anatolian Antique Kilim from the Sivas region with a rare and beautiful color composition.
Sivas In the third century, Sivas was a Roman city known as Sebastea, the capital of Armenia Minor. Flourishing under Byzantine rule, Sivas reached a peak of prosperity under the Seljuks, only to be plundered in the fourteenth century by Tamerlane, as it was an important venue on the Persian and Iraqi trade routes. The Sivas region is inhabited by Turkish and Kurdish people, and until the genocide wrought by the Turks early this century, many Armenians dwelt there as well. Sivas gained certain fame as the site for the Sivas Congress of September 1919, convened by Mustafa Kemal...

Antique Caucasus Soumak Kilim Sumac Rug, Caucasian Natural Carpet
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is a large Antique Soumak ( Sumak, Sumac ) Kilim from the Caucasus region with a rare and beautiful color composition.
Of the four countries that make up the Caucasus, Azerbaijan produces the most kilims, and the land has a long history of weaving. The nomadic tribes wove kilims and carpets as well as a wide range of storage bags and sacks, such as saffrash, khurgin and chula, and donkey and horse trappings. Smaller bags for salt, utensils, and other items are also common. Not only are the Azerbaijani weavers prolific, but they also employ many techniques at the loom. These include slitweave- known locally by the word kilim, warp-faced patterning (jajim), supplementary weft (zili), weft wrapping (popularly known as soumak), and extra weft wrapping (verneh). Furthermore, flatweaves are defined by regional names such as palas and shadda, so it is possible to ascribe a variety of weaving names to particular provenances as follows: soumaks are made in Kuba, palas, and kilims in Hajikabul, zili in Khizy, verneh and zili in Kazakh, shadda, verneh and zili in Barda, jajim in Agjabedi, and palas and kilims in Jabrail.
Soumak weave is a technique in which new weft threads are added to a plain weave fabric, and one or two warp threads are wound from the front to the back. The resulting kilim is denser and firmer, giving it a unique feel and look. This technique is commonly used in the Caucasus region.
Soumak Kilims have a very beautiful contrast between orange that shines like the sun, deep purple-tinged indigo, and astringent dark red. You can also see the unevenly dyed abrage in this sumac, which is like a magic carpet with an oriental atmosphere.
Features of the Caucasian kilim, such as the unique cosmic geometric floral pattern, are also found in this Soumak. It has a bright look, but it also has a faded and textured feel, so it can be used in a good old atmosphere. The woven fabric is particularly solid, so it is recommended for use in a solid living room or under a dining table without moving or twisting. A nice kilim under a long wooden dining table.

This is a Derbend Kazak rug also known as Daghestan rug, designed late 19th century, is a type of handwoven rug that originates from the Caucasus region, specifically from the town of Derbend (also spelled as Derbent) in modern-day Dagestan, Russia. Derbend rugs have a rich history that dates back centuries and are highly regarded for their intricate designs and craftsmanship. Derbend rugs are known for their bold and vibrant geometric designs. They often feature intricate patterns and motifs such as diamonds, medallions, stars, and stylized floral elements. The designs are typically woven with high contrast, using a variety of colors, including red, blue, green, and ivory. Derbend rugs have been woven by various ethnic groups in the Caucasus region, including the Azerbaijani, Lezgian, and Avar peoples. They hold cultural and historical importance as a form of artistic expression and are considered a part of the region's rich weaving heritage. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and soft colors are chosen for this rug.

Antique Malatya Kilim South Eastern Anatolian Rug Turkish Carpet

This is a Southern Anatolian Antique Kilim from the Malatya region with a rare and beautiful color composition.
This kilim is listed in the book; Kilims Flat-woven Tapestry Rugs, Yanni Petsopoulos, 1979 Rizzoli New York, plate nr. 241.
The brocaded bands cross the entire width of the field forming panels contained within very narrow borders. Their decoration consists of a series of alternating large and small concentric hooked lozenges.
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...
