Kilim Mersin - Anatolia. Circa 1920. 105 X 101 Cm

Very pretty Cuval face from the Mersin region in Southeastern Anatolia. Cuval are grain bags once used by nomadic populations for transport and storage. Woven wool on wool in the traditional way. This type of everyday object had to be robust, so the quality of the weaving corresponds to its use. The piece is supple and light. In a format close to the square, Cuval are highly decorative objects rather easy to position in an interior. They can also be used for wall hanging, like paintings. Very pretty, bright and deep plant shades. Observing the front and back, we note the very slight alteration of the colors, the patina.
