Featured in this lot is this Eastern Anatolian Caucus Tribal Kilim circa 1930's. The kilim features a wonderfully and professionally crafted wool construction that features medallions of geometric patterns throughout and features naturally dyed colors such as light green, heathered red, dark blue, and striped light blue. The region of Eastern Anatolia borders the Caucasian republics that recently gained independence from the now-defunct Soviet Union; it also abuts Iran, formerly known as Persia. The region has experienced, in addition to Turkish, Kurdish, Azeri, Armenian, Russian and Iranian influence to a greater or lesser degree, some of which is evident in the designs and coloring of weavings made here. The condition of this kilim rug is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition. The measurements of this kilim is 70" x 43".
