Afyon Parmalki Kilim, western Anatolia, 19th Century (circa 1860?), 4’1” x 8’3”
A visually fascinating example of textile art from Anatolia, from the western region of Afyon on the Aegean Sea. These kilims have been a favorite of collectors in the past, probably due to the wonderful graphic appeal as the design literally vibrates. The condition is good, there are a few small re-weaves/repair in the dark brown wool and a little bit in the yellow (see detail images). The colors are all derived from natural dyes. |
