Description
A near perfect condition Erzurum kilim woven in the mid to late 19th century with beautiful rare light pistachio greens and soft red dye colours. This slit weave kilim is a typical prayer design from Erzurum, woven in the north-east of Anatolia. The stylised tree design in the border is really fantastic and the dyes are just stunning and create a rare antique kilim which can be hung on the wall, placed on a table or used on the floor in forgiving areas.
This kilim has exquisite pale dyes, all natural and over 150 years old. A truly rare and amazing collectable Erzurum kilim.
Erzurum was once a key frontier town, used to defend Anatolia against many invasions, it was also an important point on the caravan route between Anatolia and Persia.It was occupied by Russia in 1829, 1878 and 1916-1917. But from 1923 it was incorporated by Turkey.The climate is very severe in this mountainous region with winter temperatures average -9c and summer rarely exceeds 20c. As weaving is generally a winter occupation it is no surprise that many beautiful kilims were woven here.
...
They were renowned for prayer kilims and more often had green or blue/green tones in the prayer arch such as this piece. They rarely produced larger kilims. With many Kurdish people residing in Erzurum, there are lots of design traits of Kurdish weavers such as the wolf track border design, as well as the tree of life design. Kilims from this region have always been extremely desirable and collectable as their designs and beautiful colour palette work so well with traditional and contemporary settings even today.
