South Feyhanli is Anatolia kilim from x 153 cm.
In the large family of kilims from southeast Anatolia, a dominant space is occupied by a group of pieces known under the name of Reyhanli. This refers to the kilims coming from the village of Reyhanli, near Antakya, the very old Antioch, a few miles from the current Syrian border; This is why many can be found in the area around Aleppo. This type of kilim enjoys an even greater reputation among collectors and sellers, because of its delicacy and the precision of execution. No Reyhanli kilim dates from before the mid 19th century. These pieces have a strictly symmetrical look and a design with great clarity. These characteristics are explained by the fact that they were woven specially for domestic use in urban houses belonging to the wealthy. They were used as curtains and doors, their decoration often being very close to that of wood doors carved in the Middle East. The Reyanli kilims are narrow, long, and woven in two halves.Its attractive set of designs connect this very colourful kilim to almost all of the types of known Turkish kilims of central Anatolia.This kilim has some traces of wear.
