Kilim Caucasus. Circa 1880. 230 X 170 Cm

Indigo blue is rarely so prevalent on the surface of a kilim, and for good reason: this highly sought-after shade is the most expensive to produce. Visually, it is the primary characteristic of this radiant piece. The composition of successive horizontal bands and the abundance of ram's horns evoke ancient Kazakh productions. Woven wool on wool in the traditional manner. Fine and refined weave, another characteristic of antique Caucasian kilims. The piece is supple and lightweight. The joining of two vertical bands sewn together is clearly visible, a distinctive feature of productions attributed to nomadic populations. Natural, plant-based hues shine across the entire surface, offering depth and striking contrasts. A real power, a strong presence, emanates from it at a glance. It is a true work of art to be placed on the floor! Circa 1880. Very good condition. Dimensions: 230 x 170 cm. Laurent Beauty of Kilims
