Keçimuhsine Cicim
Place bid Add to wishlist
- 33
- Central Anatolia, Konya
- 147 x 116 cm
- ca. 1900
- 1,200 - 1,500
This group of closely related flatweaves is well documented in literature. Produced in the village of Keçimuhsine, they were used in homes as curtains covering wall niches and hung in the opposite direction of the ascending design. All the motifs have been embroidered in the brocading technique onto a tabby foundation woven from ivory wool. Two flat stepped gables extend across the entire width of the field; parts of a third gable at the upper end of the field prove that the design is an endless repeat. The ground is filled with rows of tiny botehs arranged in colour diagonals. The composition is strictly symmetrical, and the stepped gables lend it an ascending movement. Each gable is topped with a Y-form bearing a cypress. This tree is considered a symbol of eternal life in Anatolia and encountered in many Turkish cemeteries. In rugs and flatweaves the cypress is a transitional symbol. – Very good condition, original finishes all around.

Ladik Yastik
Place bid Add to wishlist
- 34
- Central Anatolia
- 106 x 59 cm
- mid 19th century
- 700 - 800
In the red field, two light blue hexagons with a large cross as their interior motif are linked by a pole. The hooks attached to the outer sides of the hexagons are aligned with the hooks of the motifs in the corners and at the sides. The yellow border contains an angular vine decorated with flowers in the Ladik style, suggesting that the yastik was woven in that region. – Signs of age and wear, damaged sides; a section of the typical Central Anatolian finish of small shield forms survives at the bottom.

Karapinar Kilim
Place bid Add to wishlist
- 36
- Central Anatolia, Konya
- 412 x 156 cm
- ca. 1800
- 3,500 - 4,500
Woven in a single piece, this large white-ground kilim is from one of the villages in the Karapinar area. Its design consists of four huge "baklava" devices placed within panels separated by horizontal borders. The lateral spaces not covered by the primary motifs contain hooked diamonds and halved elibelinde motifs. The kilim resembles an example published by Koll in terms of its comparatively dark colours and similar horizontal border design. – Obvious signs of age and wear, various missing sections, mounted onto canvas.

Çal Kilim
Place bid Add to wishlist
- 38
- South West Anatolia, Denizli
- 224 x 185 cm
- second half 19th century
- 2,000 - 2,500
This rare kilim woven on a cotton warp probably originates from the Çal area. It is made up of three narrow panels. The field design consists of four wide horizontal stripes, each composed of three rectangles in light red and yellow that contain a large serrated star motif. The three green bands inserted between them are decorated with three cypress trees aligned horizontally. The vertical and horizontal borders show different designs and colours. – A number of holes in the field, slightly damaged edges.
Karabagh Shadda
Place bid Add to wishlist
- 39
- South Caucasus, Azerbaijan
- 226 x 151 cm
- late 19th century
- 2,500 - 3,000
This red-ground decorative cover with a brocaded design, woven in the tabby technique on a red warp, hails from the southern Caucasus, probably Karabagh. The field shows a chequerboard composition of 24 compartments that distinctly diminish in size towards the top. Eight compartments are empty spaces while 14 compartments contain animals. The wide panel composed of several borders added only on the right-hand side is an unusual feature, creating a strikingly asymmetrical appearance. We are not aware of any comparable examples. – A number of rewoven areas in the field, good overall condition.
