Antique Kilim Rugs

Kilims are flat woven rugs or flat tapestry woven carpets, highly popular around the world. From Turkish origins to south Asian cultures Kilims have their roots deep in all generations. They are totally decorative and can also serve dual purpose of prayer rugs and normal area rugs. They are woven in neat geometric patterns and subtle colours are used to define it in a more definitive way. Western households love to use Kilims and rugs of the same category in their homes. The warmth that comes from these traditional rugs is simply unmatchable.

The patterns usually consist of narrow stripes of shades of blues, greens, brownish yellow and red with small geometric designs. These designs are centuries old designs giving them the ultimate antique look. It is specifically made that they appear flat and don’t produce a flat surface with no pile. Horizontal wefts strands are pulled tightly downwards so they hide the vertical warp strands.

The art of antique kilim weaving started from humble beginnings as a folk-weaving tradition in Turkey. Now it graces the most prestigious of collections.

Most of the Antique Kilim rugs can be classed as “slit woven” textiles because of the vertical weaving technique. Customers love the slits as they give a very sharp etched design that emphasizes the geometry of the weave.

Kilims are cheaper than pile rugs but this does not mean that they are not popular among people. Now these Kilims are designed by using the finest fabric and wool with nicer and attractive shades of colour and neat geometric patterns. The up gradation of the product has helped it in making a good market for it. Quality pieces of kilims actually demand high prices.

Kilims

Kilims are a pileless floor covering hand woven by tapestry techniques in Anatolia, the Balkans, or parts of Iran. In the rest of Iran, the Caucasus, and Turkistan, the name for similar pieces is palaz. In most Kilims Rugs, a slit occurs wherever two colours meet along a vertical line in the pattern, but in a few Karabagh or South Caucasian pieces, interlocking methods are employed in order to minimize these slits.

The Turks have produced the largest kilims, usually in two narrow pieces joined, as well as small ones and a multitude of prayer kilims. As a prayer rug, which is carried about with the worshiper, the light and extremely flexible Kilim offers obvious advantages. In Turkish kilims, cotton is often used for the white areas, and small details may be brocaded.

The Kilims of the southern Balkans began as close copies of Anatolian types but have gradually developed into individual styles, such as the black, red, and white kilims of Pirot. In Romania, also, there are varied local fashions, progressively less Oriental in colour and pattern as the distance from Turkey increases. The name kilim is also given to a variety of brocaded, embroidered, warp-faced, and other flat-woven rugs and bags

What is a Kilim

What is a Kilim

A kilim is a type of woven rug which is characterized by bright, bold designs. Kilims are made in Turkey and many parts of the Middle East, and they are frequently offered for sale in Middle Eastern markets and carpet stores. It is also possible to find kilims in antique shops and in Western stores which specialize in imported textiles and carpeting.

 

Like many textiles, the kilim is designed to be used, rather than purely ornamental. As a result, few kilims more than around 100 years old survive, as wear grinds down the weaving and the threads slowly rot away. In a few instances, unique circumstances have preserved a kilim; one of the oldest known such examples is from around the fifth century CE. This rug suggests that the history of the kilim is quite ancient, and that Middle Eastern people have been weaving kilims for thousands of years.

 

To make a kilim, the weaver stretches cotton or linen warp threads on a loom and then weaves brightly colored weft threads to create a pattern. The rug is typically so tightly woven that no sign of the plain warp threads can be seen. These rugs typically have geometric or floral themes, and many kilims contain references to the areas in which they are made, such as tribal insignia. When the rug is finished, the warp threads are tied off to create a fringe.

 

 

One distinctive feature of the classical kilim is the slits in the design. Many weavers simply switch off when they need new colors, rather than interweaving them, and as a result the rug acquires small slits along the sides of its patterns. In some cases, these slits may be sewn together, but some collectors actively seek rugs with slits because they find them more valuable. Slit weave rugs tend to have very bright, easy to distinguish patterns, while interwoven rugs have patterns with more blurry, nebulous edges.

 

The flat weave of a kilim makes it thin, with no pile, and sometimes very coarse, depending on the fibers used for the weft. Cotton, wool, and silk are all fairly common choices of fiber. In addition to being used as floor coverings, kilims are also used as wall hangings to help insulate homes, and as prayer rugs and saddle pads. They are closely associated with the nomadic tribes of the Middle East, many of whom continue to produce and sell traditional kilims.
