Woven Mat

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is divided into four vertical panels of plain flat-woven ground, each seamed together and edged with a thick overcast stitch in undyed cream. Tonal variation runs horizontally within each strip, shifting from warm tan to deeper umber in irregular bands, giving the surface a striated, sun-faded quality. No pattern or border interrupts the composition; the panel seams themselves serve as the only structuring lines.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is left largely undecorated, divided into four vertical panels by faint seam lines, each filled with irregular horizontal striations in shifting tones of taupe, walnut and oatmeal. There is no distinct border beyond a narrow flatwoven selvage finished in cream overcasting along all four edges. The overall effect is a quiet, banded surface without figurative motifs, the variation coming entirely from the natural gradation of the striped ground.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is left plain, divided into four vertical panels joined by visible seams stitched in a pale zigzag thread. Each panel shifts slightly in tone, moving through bands of taupe, walnut brown, and warm oatmeal, with a subtle horizontal striation running throughout. A narrow ivory selvage frames the piece, uninterrupted by any border pattern or corner device.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

An open field of tan ground is broken by three darker brown rectangular panels set at alternating corners, top left, mid right, and bottom left, each outlined in a fine blanket stitch that also traces the outer edge. The composition is asymmetrical, with the plain tan sections left uninterrupted apart from subtle striations in the surface. No border, inscription, or additional ornament appears beyond this quiet geometric arrangement.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

An undyed, flatwoven field in mottled taupe and warm brown is divided into five vertical panels by narrow ivory seams worked in a chevron stitch. The panels vary subtly in tone, suggesting the joining of separate loom widths, and a slightly paler horizontal band crosses the lower third of the composition. All four edges are finished with a thick overcast wrap in deeper brown wool.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

The field is composed of five vertical panels in varied tones of taupe and warm brown, each with subtle streaks and irregularities in the surface color. Three narrow ivory bands of a twisted braid-like pattern run vertically between the panels, dividing the field evenly, while a thick natural-toned cord edges the entire perimeter.

VINTAGE KILIM COMPOSITION

An unadorned field is divided into four vertical panels of subtly varying tone, ranging from warm taupe to a paler oatmeal, each strip meeting its neighbor along a visible seam line. There is no border proper, only a plain overcast edge in undyed cream that runs continuously around all four sides. The surface is left otherwise open, with no figurative or geometric motifs, its interest resting entirely in the shifting striations of natural brown and beige.

TAPESTRY

A pictorial panel depicting a crowded architectural scene of robed figures gathered before a seated ruler beneath a classical arcade, with a carved stone plinth in the foreground bearing an inscribed Latin text beginning "L. SERGIVS PAVLVS." The palette runs through faded rose, ochre, blue-green, and ivory against a warm stone-toned ground, with the figures' drapery rendered in soft pinks and pale blues. A narrow floral and scrolling vine border in dark ground with muted pastel blossoms frames the entire composition on all sides.

AUBUSSON

An oval format piece with an ivory ground centered on a rose and cream floral bouquet encircled by a garland of smaller blossoms and rosette medallions. Concentric bands of pale blue, coral guilloche, and taupe frame the field, while the outer border carries a scrolling acanthus vine in muted olive, pink, and cream against a soft brown ground.
