Antique Caucasian Kilims 

     From the collection of   MARLA MALLETT: TEXTILES
Dramatic kilims (kelims) were produced by villagers and tribal nomads in the Caucasus--the current countries of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia and Dagestan.  Slit tapestry predominated. The pieces are often large, and typically have clear coloring and bold patterns.  Designs often consist of large hooked medallions arrayed in bands.  Click on inventory numbers below to see photos of complete pieces.  Check out our Tribal Textiles and HOME pages for other gallery offerings.
