1st quarter 19th century Malatya flatweave
Malatya Rug Gallery
RUG NAME: Malatya flatweave
GALLERY: Malatya
CATEGORY: Anatolian
AGE: 1st quarter 19th century
PRICE: 3500 EUR
ID(Jozan): no. 2693
DESCRIPTION: 1.25 X 1.30m. Wool, cotton, and metal thread. Weft-faced plain weave, soumak, interlocking tapestry, + more techniques. The function of this weaving is difficult to determine. There are two three dimensional padded fixtures similar in technique to Qashqai pot holders aligned in a row in the middle of the weaving (see detail 2). There was a third but it has become detached and is presently missing. These might have had straps or strap 'handles' connected to them. This seems to indicate that this was a highly specialized weaving for transport of some presently unknown gear. The quality of the colors, number of colors, and the manner in which the colors are separating into their components suggests that this is one of the oldest Malatya weavings known.Additional images
