Description

Antique Caucasian Flat Weave Kilim C1900, 200cm x 120cm, Country House Rug.

A handsome flat weave antique kilim circa 1900, possibly late 19th century to early 20th century, traditional Caucasian kilim rug showing evidence of timeworn wear, remains highly attractive floor covering and some may wish to repair, also an excellent wall hanging.

An elegant, gently timeworn country house antique Caucasian or Anatolian tribal rug, a faded charm, having retained an excellent character and colour whilst evidence of some wear, please see photos.

A blue ground central field of decoration with traditional, tribal repeating theme and borders, showing decorative motifs.

We consider this to be an excellent antique example and in mostly very original condition for age with some minimal attempts to join seams with a needle and thread, there is sufficient evidence of wear, not detrimental to light use.., there are thread worn areas and separation at some central seams, made on a narrow loom, these are not tears and mostly follow the seam, we may end misting and consign to our workshop to have these tightened and repaired but until then available as it is as some buyers prefer the character of the aged distress.

An exquisite country aesthetic, oriental flat weave kilim, discribed as Caucasian and might well be Anatolian, the tribes relocated there, taking practices and techniques with them, circa 1900 to 1920, perhaps earlier.

A very fine antique rug.

Caucasian kilims originate from the Caucasus region, spanning modern-day Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and parts of Russia and Turkey. Weaved by nomadic and village tribes, these textiles served both practical flooring purposes and as dowry items, featuring traditional regional motifs passed down through generations.

Authentic antique kilims are constructed using hand-spun sheeps wool for both the warp and the weft threads, frequently dyed using natural vegetable and mineral colourants such as madder root, indigo, and walnut shells. Unlike piled carpets, kilims are woven using a flat tapestry technique, resulting in a lightweight, pileless textile.

Authenticity is identified through irregularities in hand-spinning, natural colour variations known as abrash, hand-finished selvedges, and the presence of organic wear consistent with age. Chemical testing of dyes and microscopic examination of wool fibers also help determine the age and origin.

Antique flatweave rugs anchor modern spaces by introducing rich texture, history, and earthy tones that contrast effectively against minimalist or industrial backdrops. They function well layered over larger natural fibre carpets or placed directly onto hardwood floors as a focal point.

Preservation requires regular, gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional washing by a specialist in antique textiles, and protection from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading. Using a breathable underlay prevents slippage and reduces fiber abrasion against hard flooring.
