Anatolian Striped Motif Kilim

Description

The history of traditional Turkish kilims dates back to the nomadic roots of the Turks in Central Asia and was introduced to Anatolia by the Seljuk Turks in the 13th century as a form of Central Asian Turkish art, known for its unique techniques. These kilims exemplify a rich tapestry of heritage. Crafted from natural materials like wool, felt, and cotton, they embody enduring strength and longevity. Geometric motifs, botanical designs, animal figures, and abstract patterns, often derived from natural dyes, adorn these kilims, each with its cultural significance. This craft embodies the enduring spirit of Turkish tradition and artistry, firmly embedded in the nation’s cultural fabric.
