A beautiful late 19th century Antique Konya Kilim with beautiful antique dyes from south-western central Anatolia. In good condition and very useable on the floor with excellent underlay we provide to stop flat weaves from moving and being dangerous. The large diamond shaped motifs along with hexagonal latch-hook designs are what we usually see in these Kilims, woven with gorgeous pale blues, oranges and purple tones. Some minimal dye bleed in the outer border but it doesn''t take away the beauty of this lovely Anatolian kilim.
Konya kilims feature the most varied compositions found in Anatolia, and there have been a great number of kilims made there over the centuries. Although patterns are diverse, they generally have a decoration covering the whole field of the kilim. Konya kilims were woven in all sizes and other kilims such as Ladik and Ēumra all are close to Konya. Ladik is the best know for carpet production. The art of weaving kilims has not died out today in Konya, for some are still being made with hand-spun wool like this antique pieces.
