An old kilim from Obruck in Central Anatolia.
Once a thriving major trade center connecting East and West between Asia and Europe, Obruck is renowned for its prayer kilims featuring the Tree of Life within the mihrab pattern. However, pieces like this one represent a rare and precious alternative design.
Despite its substantial size, this kilim exemplifies the Obruck tradition of being woven tightly with strongly twisted, fine yarns—a quality evident in the fineness of the weave.
The abundant use of beautiful colors is a hallmark characteristic of Obruck kilims. The variations of orange and red are diverse, with each hue showcasing exquisite dyeing. The deep indigo is particularly vibrant, and its contrast with the reds and oranges enhances the beauty of each color.
The striped detailing—with color variations applied to each outline of the field medallion and to individual motifs in the border—demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship and adds a unique character. This is a beautifully handcrafted kilim of exceptional quality.
