Description
A remarkable 19th-century Anatolian kilim fragment, woven by village women in the heart of Anatolia, this piece reflects the enduring spirit of traditional Turkish craftsmanship. The bold composition features hooked diamond and latch-hook motifs in alternating tones of madder red, indigo, ivory, and earthy brown, framed by rustic linear accents.
The kilim’s expressive pattern and naturally faded colors reveal over a century of graceful aging.
