About the Item

This is an Eastern Anatolian vintage old Cecim ( Cicim or Jijim) Kilim from the Gaziantep region with a rare and beautiful color composition. This town lies in south-eastern Turkey, close to the Syrian border and the Euphrates River. Previously called Aintab and then Antep by Ottomans, Gaziantep acquired its present name after it fell to the French in April 1920, having been defended by the nationalists for ten months. This stupendous effort was recognized by the Turkish Grand National Assembly, which gave the city the prefix title of Gazi, meaning 'Defender of the Faith'. Kilim-weaving has long since ceased in this area. Gaziantep designs have horizontal bands of different colors with three diamond-shaped serrated emblems joined together to form the main pattern, often filled with star motifs, which also decorate other areas of the Kilim. These intricate designs are often highlighted with white cotton for additional effect. Borders are narrow with reciprocal designs or repeated motifs, and the fringes can be plaited or knotted. The coloring is normally dark, often with a predominance of red. Both large rectangular kilims (made in two halves) and small kilims are constructed in slit-weave from finely spun wool.
