This Erzurum kilim, woven in a southeastern Turkish village, follows the traditional style featuring nightingale motifs symbolizing peace & love , as well as dragon figures representing strength and protection. It has undergone minor restoration by a skilled Turkish kilim conservator in Istanbul, as detailed in the accompanying photographs.
These kilim & carpets were mostly woven for specific reasons, such as dowry, gift, commission based by someone, or for the decoration of one’s home. That is why they are not regular sizes like today’s rugs in perfect sizes or colors.
These are very rare finds, because the art of weaving in these original areas is disappearing very fast due to more opportunities in big cities. Weaving was a pastime activity in most of rural areas of greater Mesopotamia to Central Asia and the source of income as well.
