Product Description

A kilim rug, a flat woven textile without a pile, is a traditional Turkish craft produced mainly in Anatolia, Turkey. The enduring appeal of the word 'kilim' in Turkish culture is due to its deep-rooted history, as some of the oldest kilims discovered have authentic Turkish motifs. Unlike carpets, kilims have no knots, which adds to their unique character.

Kilim patchwork rugs are created by carefully selecting 30 to 70 year old traditional hand-woven Turkish kilims. These exceptional pieces are sourced from villages throughout Anatolia, Turkey, and undergo a meticulous cleaning and washing process to preserve their original designs. After this elaborate preparation, the kilims are cut into different sizes and assembled like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, transforming traditional craftsmanship into contemporary art.

To strengthen these creations, the back of the patchwork is meticulously stitched with buckram and cotton fabric, increasing its durability. Vintage Kilim Patchwork Rugs are now ready to grace your home or office with a harmonious blend of tradition, artistry and functionality.
