Antique Turkish Kilims - Anatolian Kelims -1 |
|
from the collection of Marla Mallett |
| Bold geometric kilim rugs,
covers and tent or wall hangings
have been made by Turkish, Yoruk, Kurdish and Turkmen nomads in Anatolia. These
antique ethnographic tribal Oriental rugs called "kilims" or "kelims,"
are tapestry-woven, brocaded or combine techniques. These Middle
Eastern "carpets" display some of the most powerful imagery
produced by weavers anywhere. To see complete views and larger details of the Turkish kilim art below, click on the inventory numbers as you scroll downwards.
