Mut Kilim
A 19th century Mut Kilim (circa 1875) from
southern Anatolia (south of Karaman towards
Mediterranean coast). This example is very finely
woven with thinly spun wool and traditional Mut
earth tones: contrasting colors of red,
red-brown, white and dark blue. Distinctive
design includes two rows of vertical hexagonals
in field with smaller boxed border hexagonals.
This example has very finely rendered, narrow,
delicate "saw-tooth motif." The use of
white is sensational and creates great contrast
and dramatic design. A unique collector's piece.
Condition: overall condition is excellent.
Dimensions: 124" x 54.5"
