Pirot kilims are also known as Sarkoy or Sharkoy, they originate from the town of Pirot in south-eastern Serbia; where they have been made since the middle ages. The popular design style has spread across the Balkan region and into western Turkey. These are outstanding furnishing kilims with a very unique style in a wide range of designs and colours.
This rare example has a very large scale repeat design on an indigo blue ground, the kilim is framed by a very wide border in a soft green with very large scale design elements. The kilim is woven in four strips that are then stitched together, this indicates that the kilim was woven on a narrow loom, and is of an earlier date than most examples.
