Kilim / Gallery. Afyon. Anatolia. Circa 1900. 255 X 88 Cm

The composition of this kilim is unusual, and the succession of horizontal bands is a direct link to the specific lifestyle of the nomadic populations of Anatolia.
In fact, the structural organization pays homage to the daily life of these nomads. The repetition of daily tasks, an order established in connection with the rhythm of nature and the seasons, a certain stability in cyclical movement.
In the same way, there are also several series of wavy S-shaped motifs, which themselves symbolize water, flow and life.
Associated with zig-zag motifs that can be associated with snakes that come to protect the clan, the family and all its members.
In a palette of ultra-soft, harmonious plant hues, this unique piece is ideal for a hallway, celebrating the passage.
Woven wool on wool.
Fine weaving, refined even.
The piece is supple and surprisingly light, a cloud. There are also beautiful colors, some sandy-looking, ochre yellows and gorgeous indigo blues.
