Antique Turkish Kilims - Anatolian Kelims - 2

Bold flatwoven rugs, hangings and covers have been made by Turkish, Yoruk, Kurdish and Turkmen nomads in Anatolia. These truly ethnographic antique Oriental tribal rugs called "kilims" or "kelims," are tapestry-woven, brocaded or combine techniques. To see complete views and larger details of these Turkish kilims, click on the inventory numbers. Check out our Tribal Textiles and HOME pages for other gallery offerings.  Then take a look at More Early Kilims where you will find a discussion of restoration and conservation issues.  For photos of tribal life in Anatolia see Through Josephine's Eyes.
