Here are some of the rugs I have brought back from the Middle East: Kilims from Anatolia, and Cappadocia in Turkey, Kurdistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Kazakstan and Balouchistan, also antique rugs and çiçim, zili & soumak pieces, camel, saddle, grain & salt bags and other interesting and beautiful textiles. I am working on a new www.kilim.ie website at the moment, on which I am collecting information about and photos of interesting motifs from Anatolian kilims and the use of different weavings in daily life. Any suggestions for sources of photos would be greatly appreciated. Over the summer holidays, I plan to get all my pieces photographed and online, both existing and new acquisitions. I have some very good antique large Anatolian kilims which are not yet photographed or listed here.
