About the Item
This is an Eastern Anatolian Vintage Kilim from the Kars region with a rare and beautiful color composition.
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, 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 closer 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.
