Description

Size: 11ft 9in x 10ft 2in (357 x 310cm).

Rare antique Pirot / Sarkoy kilim of scarce design. A kilim of large room size, a truly outstanding example.

Circa 1920.

Pirot kilims are also known as Sarkoy or Sharkoy, they originate from the town of Pirot in south-eastern Serbia; where they have been made since the middle ages. The popular design style has spread across the Balkan region and into western Turkey. These are outstanding furnishing kilims with a very unique style in a wide range of designs and colours.

This rare example has a very large scale repeat design on an indigo blue ground, the kilim is framed by a very wide border in a soft green with very large scale design elements. The kilim is woven in four strips that are then stitched together, this indicates that the kilim was woven on a narrow loom, and is of an earlier date than most examples.

Very good condition with slight wear. Suitable for normal domestic use.

Hand washed and ready for use.
