Kilim Circa 1930 from occidental area of Turkey
Very precise weaving and very nice bordure
Şarköy kilims are woven from very finely spun wool. The weaving technique used, "perfilage", makes them virtually reversible.
They are also unique in that they are woven in a single piece.
Şarköy is a small village in the western part of Turkey, and the motifs of the kilims from this region are similar to those of Pirot kilims.
The tree of life is very common, repeated in the larger kilims but unique in the smaller ones, with stylised birds as a filler motif or placed on the branches of the trees.
Stylized leaf motifs are also often used, either on the tree of life or as a border motif in the form of a vine leaf.
