Antique Sarkoy Kilim

19th century
Description

Sarkoy kilims are very finely woven in slit weave technique in a variety of sizes and are made in one piece.  Many feature the tree of life composition as we can see on this lovely small kilim.  Birds also feature regularly as motifs and can be seen in border designs too.  Stylised leaves appear on the trees in lovely faded dyes.  Their primary colours are deep red, purple hues with greens and blues, and some light yellow faded dyes.  An exquisite Sarkoy kilim woven around 1860 in remarkable condition, with the best natural dyes.

Kilims from this region are known as Thracian or Sarkoy kilims, even though Sarkoy is geographically within modern Turkey.  The name Sarkoy is also used for kilims woven farther north in Bulgaria.  These unique slit weave kilims are produced in one piece and vary in sizes from small to larger pieces.  Smaller kilims from this area are rare to find, and especially in excellent original condition such as this kilim.

We offer the service of viewing any of our antique kilims in situ.  We love visiting customers all over the UK, having helped customers and interior designers find the perfect carpet, rug, kilim or runner for their home since 1990.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Sarkoy kilims are traditional flatweave textiles historically crafted in the Thrace region of the Balkans, known for their fine slit-weave technique and iconic motifs such as the tree of life.

These kilims are hand-woven using pure natural wool yarn for both warp and weft, often coloured with vegetable dyes to produce rich shades of crimson, navy blue, and ivory.

Authentic pieces feature lightweight, fine slit-weave construction with sharp geometric patterns, stepped medallion borders, and distinctive stylized flora or avian motifs woven without a raised pile.

In corporate or residential interiors, a flatweave kilim introduces rich texture and geometry beneath contemporary neutral furniture, pairing well with natural timber, leather, and brass accents.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush, clean spills immediately with a damp cloth and cold water, use a high-quality rug pad underneath, and consult a specialist rug cleaner for periodic deep maintenance.
