Antique Pirot / Sarkoy Kilim of Flowering Tree Design, Superb Condition, Circa 1920.

1900 - 1920
Description

Size: 10ft 9in x 8ft 2in (328 x 250cm).

Antique Pirot / Sarkoy kilim of flowering tree design. A kilim of superb design and colour in a good room size.

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 example is of a flowering tree design on a warm red ground, framed by ivory with flowering shrubs. The border is of a simple classic design on a dark charcoal ground and frames the kilim very well. The weave is typically fine and tight. A superb example with a simple but unusual design.

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

Hand washed and ready for use.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Pirot Sarkoy kilim is a traditional handwoven flatweave textile originating from the Balkan region, renowned for its intricate geometric motifs and slit-weave technique.

These kilims are predominantly woven using natural hand-spun wool for both the warp and weft threads, often coloured with vegetable dyes.

Authentic period kilims display fine hand-spun wool yarn, subtle variations in natural dye colour known as abrash, and characteristic slit-weave construction along pattern boundaries.

A bold flatweave kilim can serve as an anchor in a contemporary living space, pairing effectively with neutral upholstered furniture or layered over natural fibre floor coverings.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush, immediate spot cleaning with damp cloths, and periodic professional dry cleaning help preserve flatweave wool structures.
