Colorful rugs of oriental origing 

Kelim is the Turkish name for a thin, light carpet. It comes from the Persian word gelim. In English-speaking countries, kilim is called kilim. Weaving kilim rugs is an ancient tradition that dates back to the Middle East. It is probably the oldest form of tapestry art. Three main countries of origin are Iran, Turkey and Afghanistan. A special kind of kilim, the rose kilim, mainly comes from Moldova. Characteristic of kilims are the use of different patterns, motifs and figures that have a deeper meaning in the Eastern world. The traditional colors for the colorful rugs are green, blue, ivory, pink and red.

How are kilims made?

A kilim rug is manufactured according to the traditional oriental way of making rugs. A kilim is a handmade carpet without a pile. The weaving technique used for this results in a flat, thin cloth without upright threads. Kilims mainly consist of wool. Nomads used the wool of camels, goats and sheep for this. This wool is spun by hand and then processed on a loom into a beautiful and very detailed pattern.

Finally, the cloth is colored. Paint of natural origin, for example from plants, is used. After drying, the approximately three millimeter thick kilim is ready and you can enjoy its beautiful color palette. Often kilims are a bit crooked in shape. This is because the rug is completely handmade. It is a confirmation of the authenticity of the rug. An important characteristic of the weaving technique used is that the patterns on both sides of the rug are almost the same; there is no front or back.
