Lot Essay


A kilim published by Yanni Petsopoulos, 100 Kilims, London, 1991, no.63, has similar elongated cartouches with horizontal decorative motifs within it. Like our example, the ivory tabs at the edges of Petsopoulos' kilim indicate an origin somewhere near Aksaray. An unusual feature of ours, however, is the occasional presence of metal-thread cruciform motifs in the minor stripes between the cartouches. The use of metal-thread is more typical of Erzurum kilims in the North East of Anatolia. A comparable example, lacking metal-thread, was sold Rippon Boswell, 28 May 2022, lot 192.
