Kilim Kars - Anatolia. Circa 1970. 120 X 80 Cm

You're never bored in the world of kilims! Sometimes you're looking for a specific piece at a very friendly dealer's shop, and then you find something completely different. A scrap of wool pops out from under a pile—that's where it's hiding! At first glance, nothing extraordinary, and yet it's instantly love at first sight. What can I say about this enigmatic kilim? The dealer places it without hesitation in the Kars region of Anatolia. Okay. That's possible. Is it a face? Its two eyes, its two stars, are watching me. This is certainly a piece not referenced in the dozens of specialized books I also collect. Is it a landscape? What beauty and what harmony! Is it a painting, a work of art inspired by nature, a childhood memory? Wool on wool. Mid-20th century. Perfect condition. Dimensions: 120 x 80 cm. Laurent, Beauty of Kilims
