Handmade Fine Turkish Kilim Wool Rug (4′ x 6′)

Description

Kilims are decorative floor coverings that are produced in central Asia. It is an item found in every household of Turkmen tribes. In Turkmen culture, kilims are gifted to young married couples to decorate their new home. Kilims are handwoven from mountain sheep wool which makes it very durable. Kilims are produced by tightly interweaving the warp and weft strands of the weave to produce a flat surface with no pile. Kilim weaves are tapestry weaves, technically weft-faced plain weaves, that is, the horizontal weft strands are pulled tightly downward so that they hide the vertical warp strands. Various attractive motifs are used in kilims, a widely used motif is the elibelinde, a stylized female figure, which represents motherhood and fertility. Geometric patterns and shapes are also used in handwoven kilims. Kilims are best option to create an authentic and traditional living space.
