Kilim Kars Anatolia. Circa 1970. 120 X 80 Cm

You never get bored in the world of kilims! Sometimes you're looking for a specific piece from a very friendly dealer and then you find something completely different. A piece of wool emerges from under a pile, that's where it's hiding! At first glance, nothing extraordinary, and yet it's instantly a favorite. What can I say about this enigmatic kilim? The dealer places it without hesitation in the Kars region of Anatolia. Okay. It's possible. Is it a face? Its two eyes, its two stars are watching me. This is a piece not referenced in the dozens of specialized books that I also collect. Is it a landscape? What beauty and what harmony! Is it a painting, a pictorial work of inspiration, a childhood memory? Wool on woolMid 20th centuryPerfect conditionDim: 120 x 80 cmLaurentBeauty of Kilims
