For your bidding pleasure is this Eastern Antolian Van Tribal Kilim Rug. In the mountainous vastness of Eastern Anatolia, very near a lake bearing the same name, the Van is a market town for this area bordering on Iran, ancient Persia. The mountaineers and villagers of the valleys, Kurds, Armenians and Turkmen, attempted to live normal lives when not fighting invaders or each other – and all the while their womenfolk were weaving kilims and other textiles. Van kilims are known for their design compositions consisting of diamond-shaped medallions designated as “hooked” or “crenellated”, repeated down the length of the kilim with the repeated pattern separated by narrow bands. The Kilim is in good condition showing a large rug frame with both ends tasseled. With a blander cream color and black, the kilim is decorated but natural dyes of reds, blues, and greens. The measurements of this rug are 128" x 91".
