It showcases hues that carry depth and warmth that modern synthetic pieces only try to mimic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eUnlike traditional piled rugs where yarn is knotted onto a backing, Kilim weavers utilize a different technique. There is an interweaving of vertical warps and horizontal wefts without any knotting, hence the term flatweave. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis antique has a bold, tribal design. Free of traditional border bands, the design spans straight across in continuous horizontal bands featuring a scorpion motif. Historically, weavers incorporated this symbol as a protective charm to ward off scorpions, though it is also can be interpreted as a symbol of the dragon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasuring an exact 4'9\" x 8'9\", this versatile piece a great size, not as typical as others. Due to their weave and construction, Kilims are easy to utilize into many different forms of functional art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eKilims that have been collected from BPR have anchored floors, been displayed on the walls as a bold textile art piece, and also have been repurposed it into custom upholstery projects such as accent ottomans and seat backings. This piece is in good antique condition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e____________________________________________________________________________________\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Rug Rundown…                                                                \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ethe wool…the weave…the wear\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize: 4'9 x 8'9\u003cbr\u003e\u003csup class=\"superscript\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e Material: 100% Vegetable dyed wool\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Flat Weave\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Turkey\u003cbr\u003eAge: 1920s \u003cbr\u003eDesign: Horizontal bands with scorpion \/ dragon motif with no border band.\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent antique condition with light authentic wear and natural dyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003csup class=\"superscript\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e________________________________________________________________________________________________\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e:\u003cspan style=\"color: #706e7c;\"\u003e: Please consider a rug pad for this old beauty, to keep it protected and wiggle free.
