Hanging Kilims in Uskudar Flea Market Lane
by Edna Lester
Sunlight bounces off the Bosphorus, casting a cool, silvery sheen across a narrow Uskudar lane crowded with textile stalls. Rows of colorful kilims hang vertically from overhead wooden beams, their intricate geometric patterns in deep reds, indigos, and ochres catching the reflected glare. Dry season air holds a haze of cooking smoke and steam rising from nearby food carts, softening the edges of the hanging fabrics. Shoppers move between the stalls, their hands touching the wool textures as they inspect the weave density. The scene is a dense tapestry of commerce where the bright water light contrasts with the earthy tones of the dried wool and the gray stone paving beneath. One fringed edge of a blue rug sways slightly against the shadow of a wooden post.
