A PRISTINE VINTAGE MAGNIFICENT TURKISH THRACIAN KILIM.

This spectacular Kilim is room-sized, by that I mean its very VERY large for a kilim, very few are made as large as this, because of the size of the looms available to the weavers

. IT WAS MADE IN THE IN THRACE, ON THE WESTERN BANK OF THE SEA OF MARMARA. IT IS TOTALLY HANDMADE AND IS MADE FROM HANDSPUN VIRGIN LAMBS WOOL WHICH IS NATURALLY ( VEGETABLY) DYED. THIS STYLE OF THRACIAN IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A 'GOCMEN' WHICH TRANSLATES FROM THE TURKISH AS 'IMMIGRANT' OR EVEN 'MIGRATORY'. IT IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, PRISTINE AND AS SUCH DIFFICULT TO AGE, BUT PROBABLY MORE THAN 50 YEARS. AND YET, ITS COLORS ARE VIBRANT, EXCITING. VERY FEW OF THESE MASTERPIECES ARE MADE TODAY WHICH ARE AUTHENTIC. I DOUBT THAT IT HAS EVER GRACED A FLOOR ANYWHERE. HOWEVER, IT WILL INDUBITABLY LAST A LIFETIME OR 2 THIS WILL BE AN HEIRLOOM TO PASS ALONG.

IT IS ALSO VERY HEAVY WEIGHING IN AT 40 POUNDS. IT'S HUGE. THE FLORAL MOTIFWORK AND AND ARCHITECHTURAL DESIGN OF THIS WONDERFUL KILIM, WITH ITS SLITWEAVE AND CURVILINEAR CONSTRUCTION ARE AUTHENTICALLY REGIONAL.

EXACT DIMENSIONS ARE 11' 7" X 9'.
