The Central Anatolian region is a high plateau bordered by mountains, separating it from the Black Sea, the Taurus Mountains, and the Mediterranean areas. This geographic diversity has influenced the region’s distinct weaving traditions, making Central Anatolia a notable center for kilim production.
Central Anatolian kilims are known for their intricate slit-tapestry techniques, often created by nomadic weavers. While quicker to produce, these pieces require precision to achieve the correct patterns and proportions. The Central Anatolian Kilims Photo Gallery includes examples such as an 18th-century kilim, a fragment from around 1800, and other notable pieces exhibited by experts in Anatolian textiles.
