Antique Turkish Malatya Kilims, Outstanding Colour and Design, Late 19th Century.

19th century
Description

Size: 11ft 6in x 5ft 5in (350 x 164cm).

Antique Turkish Malatya kilim with excellent design and colour.

Late 19th century.

This kilim was woven in two parts on a narrow loom and then sewn together, this is why the design and colour is very slightly different on each side. This adds to the visual impact of this kilim. The colours are outstanding and the ivory ground border is beautifully drawn.

The kilim is in excellent condition with very slight wear and no damage.

The kilim is suitable for normal domestic use.

The kilim has been hand washed and is ready for use or display.

Stock Number: R-1640.

This late 19th-century Turkish Malatya kilim rug exhibits an Anatolian tribal style, constructed from handwoven wool using a slit-weave flatweave technique. The piece displays a rich palette of terracotta red, navy blue, green, and cream, incorporating natural dye abrash variations alongside complex geometric diamond medallions and patterned border bands. Visible construction details include the central vertical seam where two narrow loom sections are joined, creating subtle variations in pattern and hue between each side, as well as an ivory ground border and very slight wear on the surface. Measuring 350 cm high by 164 cm wide and 1 cm deep, this large flatweave rug is suitable for normal domestic use on the floor of a living room, dining room, or hallway in a contemporary home.

FAQs

Malatya kilims originate from Eastern Anatolia in Turkey, traditionally handwoven by nomadic and village weavers using flatweave techniques with bold geometric diamond patterns.

Authentic late 19th-century Turkish kilims are constructed entirely from hand-spun sheep wool for both warp and weft, dyed using natural vegetable, plant, and mineral sources.

Authentic pieces feature slit-weave flat construction, natural dye variation known as abrash, irregular hand-spun yarn textures, and flexible, soft wool backing without synthetic lining.

A vibrant geometric kilim anchors living areas or dining spaces, adding pattern, texture, and historical depth to minimalist, bohemian, or traditional interior schemes.

Vacuum regularly on low suction without a rotating brush, address spills immediately by blotting with cold water, and use a professional rug specialist for deep restoration.
