About the Item
Hand-knotted in wool circa 1910-1920, this 2x3 Kilim is an antique Balisht textile—a collectible once used by nomadic tribes in their daily life as bags, pillows and more—an exceptional new acquisition in Rug
Kilim's distinguished collection of Central Asian nomadic masterworks.
On the Design:
A Balisht like this piece was often a traditional ceremonial pillow cover used by Turkmen tribes for special occasions and honored guests, transforming practical household items into displays of tribal wealth and artistic mastery. The deep burgundy ground provides a rich background for repeating geometric motifs arranged in precise horizontal registers, each element rendered with precision characteristic of superior Turkmen weaving. The geometric design employs traditional Turkmen gul variations—stylized tribal motifs that create pattern continuity while maintaining individual identity through subtle internal variations.
The three-dimensional tassel embellishments transform the flat-weave surface into sculptural textile art, serving both protective and decorative functions in traditional nomadic contexts, thereby demonstrating the full ceremonial character of this functional object. Traditionally used to cover pillows during important gatherings, Balishts demonstrated tribal identity and hospitality customs that defined nomadic social structures. In contemporary applications, this Balisht offers museum-quality authenticity that resonates with serious collectors understanding its role in Turkmen ceremonial life.
Condition:
This antique Balisht textile enjoys good condition for its age and origin with some mild wear consistent with age. It is a very collectible piece, well suited to wall-hanging tapestry projects and other decorative purposes.
