Kilim's Life: A Video About Anatolian Kilims.

Hamit Balkir is telling us some information about the antique kilims and carpets for an old tv program. He gave important information. If you interest antique and handmade Anatolian kilims, you have to watch.

I do many restorations for old carpet or kilims or industry and between 100 years old early 13th-century Ottoman pieces, I make the recovery.

Many, in center Anatolia, is a unique design are from Konya, Sivas, Aksaray. This three area a very unusual design and color combination.

All these areas, at same times many different tribes. These tribes are before like twenty years ago in Turkey a lots tribes. Now you can see maybe one or two tribes still there in tradition. Most of the nomadic they settle the Highland they don’t travel anymore.

Before like my families like nomadic before I remember each has in the village in the Highland have they do own handmade carpet. Now is nobody can do anymore.
