Farnham Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Kilim Cushion Pillow to the 1870s.
The early dyes of purple aubergines, and saffron yellows are truly wonderful with hints of pale blues. As this a very old piece of kilim it does have some marks on there, due to the kilims age. The curled latch-hook design is fabulous and full of character.

Each piece used for a cushion has been washed, but occasionally old marks are unable to be removed as this kilim is around 155 years old. There are eight cushions in total made from the same kilim - see all the images attached below.

Aydin is a region in the western area of Konya in Anatolia, located near the mediterranean and is famous for its traditional kilim weaving. Aydin kilims were woven in varying designs from prayer kilims to large kilims woven in two halves. A small hook motif derived from the eight-pointed star was used as an infill or border motif. The area today is an agricultural area where weaving has sadly ceased.
