Konya Muzumla Kilim. Anatolia. Circa 1900. 152 X 103 Cm

This kilim is a true work of art!
Here’s its story—or rather, how it came into our possession. Three years ago, I came across this piece in an interior design magazine, if I recall correctly. The caption read, “Private collection. Miami. USA.”
So I reached out to all my friends in Turkey, all my contacts, and all my suppliers.
I wanted one just like it—just as old, just as moving, just as captivating, and the same size. I had to have one just like it!
I remember that at the time, one of my friends actually advised me to go to Miami myself and ask the owner to sell it to me.
In fact, the challenge was that it was practically impossible to find.
I did receive a few photos of pale imitations, of similar but more recent pieces...
Years went by, nothing.
Until that day a few months ago, when one of my suppliers wrote to me: “I have it—are you still interested?”

Well, here it is!
It’s woven wool-on-wool. The weave and texture are incredible. Abrash throughout the entire surface. Breathtaking vegetable dyes. An ascending composition.
