1900's Eastern Anatolian Caucus Tribal Kilim
Featured in this lot is this 1900's Eastern Anatolian Caucus tribal kilim. The region of Eastern Anatolia borders the Caucasian republics that recently gained independence from the now-defunct Soviet Union; it also abuts Iran, formerly known as Persia. The region has experienced, in addition to Turkish, Kurdish, Azeri, Armenian, Russian and Iranian influence to a greater or lesser degree, some of which is evident in the designs and coloring of weavings made here. The kilim features a central medallion that shows some stepped geometric design and a fringe to the edges of the kilim. The condition of this kilim shows some weathering to the fabric consistent with some age and shows some wear to areas close to the edges. The measurements of this kilim is 46 1/2" x 26 3/4".
