1930's Eastern Anatolian Caucus Tribal Kilim
Featured in this lot is this Eastern Anatolian Caucus tribal kilim circa 1930's. The kilim features a wonderfully and professionally crafted wool construction that features medallions of geometric patterns throughout and features naturally dyed colors such as green, heathered red, light blue, and black. 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 condition of this kilim is good with some wear to rug due to age but otherwise shows good overall condition. The measurements of this rug is 69 1/2" x 49".
