An extremely finely woven niche design kilim, the niche being entirely worked in cotton, metal thread and only minor touches of wool, the latter being predominant in the carnation pattern of the border. The very light denim blue of the cotton background contrasts exquisitely with the ivory and metal thread of the tree elements.
