For your consideration is this beautiful, hand woven Eastern Anatolian Caucus Tribal Kilim rug from the 1950s - 1960s. This rug features a wonderfully and professionally handcrafted wool construction that features medallions of geometric motif patterns throughout and naturally dyed colours such as sage green, heather red, pink, light blue, saffron yellow, light purple and orange. Anatolian motifs represent desires, such as for happiness and children; others, for protection against threats such as wolves (to the flocks) and scorpions, or against the evil eye. 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 Turkish influence in addition to 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. It measures 96" L x 36" W and weighs 7 pounds and 4 ounces.
