AN AYDINLI KILIMSOUTH CENTRAL ANATOLIA, MID 18TH CENTURYAN AYDINLI KILIMSOUTH CENTRAL ANATOLIA, MID 18TH CENTURYWoven in two panels, light localised corrosion, lined, overall very good condition.9ft.9in. x 5ft.3in. (298cm. x 160cm.)The kilims of the Konya region are prized for their large ivory-field designs, woven in two parts. A similar border design to the present kilim, also woven by the Aydinli tribal group, is published in Yanni Petsopoulos, Kilims, London, 1979, p. 120. Though Aydinli Konya kilims normally have a field with a small number of large medallions, examples also with small ascending motifs are published in Alastair Hull and Jose Luczyc-Wyhowska, Kilim: The Complete Guide, Thames and Hudson, London, 1993, p. 163. Konya Kilims with such motifs were also sold in these rooms on 10 April 2008, lot 35, and 24 April 2012, lot 128. This kilim was formerly part of the collection of Pierre Loti (1850-1933), a French naval officer and novelist known for his exotic novels and short stories who wrote under the pseudonym, Louis Marie-Julien Viaud. On passing through Istanbul in 1877, on his way to a military campaign, he was struck by the majesty and beauty of the city and the Ottoman style. He continued to visit Istanbul between 1876 and 1913 where he became close friends with Abdulmecid II, an Ottoman prince and the last Calif of the Ottoman empire. Loti collected many objects from Asia and the Middle East with which he furnished his house in Rochefort, France which he named "the house of the world".细节 AN AYDINLI KILIMSOUTH CENTRAL ANATOLIA, MID 18TH CENTURYWoven in two panels, light localised corrosion, lined, overall very good condition.9ft.9in. x 5ft.3in.
