My old friend Jim Allen was kind enough to share a Hotams Kelim from his site.

Barry I think this kilim dates to the 3rd quarter of the 19th century based on its range of exquisite colors, fine weave, and fine wool. I am sharing this with you to help fill in the picture of Hotomis kilims through the years. Jim Allen   http://www.a-bey.com  

 

 

 

I am not looking to buy or sell. I am reviewing this rug to place it in context and to use it as a teaching aid.

Thanks and best wishes,
