Size: 8ft 11in x 5ft 10in (272 x 178cm).
Antique Bessarabian kilim with basket design on a soft blue ground.
Late 19th century.
Bessarabian kilims originate from Eastern Europe; from an area that is now Moldova, North Western Romania and South Eastern Ukraine. Kilim production in these areas can be traced back to the 18th century and continues today in a limited capacity; the diverse cultural heritage of the region has inspired designs that are unique. The combination of colour and bold design has made Bessarabian kilims very popular with collectors and interior designers in recent years.
This example has a scarce design of two large baskets with colourful floral sprays on a very light indigo blue ground, the border is in a soft cream / ivory colour containing a linked abstract floral design. This kilim is very easy on the eye and would make an outstanding furnishing item.
The kilim is in excellent original condition with no wear or repairs. This kilim is woven using the 'interlocking weave' technique, this makes it stronger and suitable for floor use.

ANTIQUE AFGHAN FIROZKOHI EMBROIDERED KILIM OR COVER, ...
Item Ref
D-5043
Size: 8ft 2in x 4ft 4in (250 x 133cm).
Antique Afghan Firozkohi embroidered kilim or cover.
Circa 1900.
The Firozkohi are a semi nomadic tribe found in North West of Afghanistan. This kilim is a good example of a style which is unique to the Firozkohi, it is soft undyed brown wool, flat woven and then embroidered in bright colours usually in a concentric diamond pattern. This example could be a floor kilim or equally a cover / blanket or even a family eating cloth. This is quite a scarce weaving.
The kilim is in good condition with slight even wear, note the original long tassels at both ends. The shape is slightly irregular due to the nomadic origin of the kilim.

Old Afghan Baluch kilim with banded design in weft work.
Circa 1900.
This is a good example of a Baluch kilim with bands of weft work, each band is of a different design, the colours are excellent with good dye quality. There is soft madder red, shades of indigo blue, green and aubergine.
Excellent original condition with slight wear, there are a few small old repairs. I feel that this could be one half of a two part kilim.
This kilim is suitable for normal domestic use.
