Antique Anatolian Kilim Rug (Reyhanli Aleppo) Kilim 8'1" x 2'8"

Size: 8.1 x 2.8 ft.   Circa: 1930 Material: Pure Wool This finely woven kilim was produced in the surroundings of Aleppo at a time when North Syria was still a province of the Ottoman Empire. This would have once served as a door or window curtain. The central panel displays a dense repeat of lifeline motifs drawn in an exemplary style and aligned in offset rows to form a tight geometric lattice. The panels at either end are filled with rows of stepped lozenges with extending arms above and below, which is a characteristic motif of Aleppo kilims (Yanni Petsopoulos, Kilims, Fribourg, 1979, pp.166-167, figs.198-201). Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind. Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to these rugs' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects. Our kilims are professionally cleaned.
