Rare Konya Hotamis Wedding Kilim, Anatolia, Circa 1880, 290*200cm

Rare and superb KONYA HOTAMIS wedding kilim around 1880

Anatolye (South Turkey)

This wedding rug is atypical for its unusual dimensions, 290 * 200cm.
This carpet was tied by the bride's family as a wedding present for the new couple; material is much thicker and denser than for other kilims, with a very beautiful wool woven with tighter knots.

These nomadic tribe rugs are usually bi-partite (except for rare old so-called "workshop" kilims) because they are made usingnot very wide looms because intended to be frequently transported (length between 70 and 100cm) . The 2 parts of kilim are then sewn together.

Sizes 290*200cm
Perfect condition, and the kilim has been cleaned by our professional workshop.
These Anatolian kilims always feature bright (often vegetal) colors that go well with many types of interiors and different styles (modern or old, popular or more sophisticated)
