{"product_id":"eastern-anatolia-malatya-old-kilim-k23640","title":"Eastern Anatolia Malatya Old Kilim","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn antique kilim from Malatya, one of the primary weaving centers for kilims in Eastern Anatolia. The region is known for its abundant production and remarkable variety of kilim designs.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis particular piece showcases an exceptionally distinctive color palette. Though composed entirely of deeper tones, it possesses a captivating, unexpectedly vibrant quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe kilim features alternating horizontal stripes in purple and brown, blue and brown, and moss green and brown in flat-woven sections, adorned bands with ochre and red accents, and decorative jijim bands with interconnected medallion-like motifs. While each color remains relatively restrained, the magic of their juxtaposition and interplay creates this strikingly individual and colorful appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\nFor instance, where the brown horizontal stripes meet, subtle red weft threads are carefully woven in, creating striking contrast with the adjacent purple, blue, and moss green sections.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ochre band—that yellowish tone—sits naturally alongside the moss green, yet it is intentionally placed within the purple and blue sections, colors that contrast beautifully with yellow.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bold patterned jijim bands are composed of colors like red, blue, yellow, and white that possess inherent vibrancy and clarity. The weaver's color coordination is truly remarkable.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile the color combination might initially seem incongruous, the overall balance is surprisingly harmonious, creating a piece of mysterious and captivating appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSKU:\u003c\/span\u003e K23640\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSize:\u003c\/span\u003e 145cm x 163cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e Turkey\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/span\u003e Antique Kilim\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/span\u003e Wool × Wool","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700797407528,"sku":"K23640","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/K23640_4385ae97-64c7-47f6-acde-014b43c352f5.jpg?v=1776124795","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/eastern-anatolia-malatya-old-kilim-k23640","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
