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.

FAQs

These kilims are characterised by their fine flatweave construction, intricate geometric and floral motifs, and vibrant natural-dyed wools originating from the Balkan region.

They are traditionally hand-woven using 100 percent wool warps and wefts, often constructed in multiple narrow panels that are later stitched together seamlessly.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-spun wool fibres, natural dye variations, characteristic slit-weave construction, and traditional regional motifs consistent with the era.

An antique flatweave rug serves as a textural anchor on hardwood floors, adding warmth, heritage pattern, and colour to both modern minimalist and eclectic schemes.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist cleaning when necessary, and the use of a breathable rug underlay to prevent sliding and fibre wear.
