MARLA MALLETT: TEXTILES


Malatya Kilim with Rashwan Design
Eastern Anatolia. Mid to late 19th century. Wool and cotton.  7' x 10'2."
This nomadic kilim was woven in two panels and sewn together. It has features usually only seen in early pieces, such as a liberal use of aubergine among its colors. As is normal with early textiles, iron oxides  have eroded the brown-dyed wools, and thus many background areas have been expertly rewoven in this wonderful old kilim.   $3200
