$ on request  Sold
A simple, large format flat-weave from Central Turkey, woven entirely with jute. These kilims were intended for use in the fields during harvest time, to dry grains and fruits in the sun, acquiring a wonderful patina in the process. Wonderful texture, feels like hand-spun old cotton. This is a particularly nice example, in very good condition.
Condition & Remarks
Very well preserved, sturdy and clean

A word of caution: as with any light colored floor cover, we recommend using this kilim where it will not stain easily.
