Aksaray Kilim
first half 19th century, 423 x 165 cm, Central Anatolia, Cappadocia
A fascinating kilim in very beautiful colours. The field and borders were woven separately and match in terms of design, but not in length. It is unknown whether this discrepancy in length was viewed as a shortcoming by the Anatolian women who made the kilim.
Provenance: Harald and Renate Bohmer Collection.
Condition
Some restorations, especially in the upper finish of the central panel. Woven in three panels, not sewn together.
