The kilim rug. Woven in culture. The story of the original handmade kilim.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our kilim rug is a flat hand-woven<\/a>, van oosterse oorsprong. Het is waarschijnlijk de vroegst bekende vorm van tapijtkunst<\/a>. De naam Kelim is Turks en komt van het Perzische gelim (\u06af\u0644\u06cc\u0645).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kilim technique has traditionally been practised in Anatolia, the Caucasus and North Africa. Our kilims are hand-woven in Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special thing about the kilim weaving technique is that the patterns are usually the same on both sides, so there is no front or back. A kilim can be used as rug or wall hanging<\/a><\/strong>. The most commonly used material for kilim patterns is wool, and cotton is used for the warp threads. The traditionally used colors are red, pink, ivory, blue, and green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of the kilim rug.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like pile rugs, kilim rugs have been produced since antiquity. The explorer Mark Aurel Stein found kilims in Hotan, China, dating from at least the fourth or fifth century AD:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Aangezien kelims veel minder duurzaam zijn dan tapijten met een pool om de schering en inslag te beschermen, is het niet verwonderlijk dat er weinig grote leeftijden overblijven … Het weefsel is bijna identiek aan dat van moderne kelims, en heeft ongeveer veertien draden schering en zestien draden inslag per inch. Het patroon bestaat uit smalle strepen van blauw, groen, bruingeel en rood, met zeer kleine geometrische motieven. Met deze ene uitzondering, die zo uitzonderlijk goed bewaard is gebleven, zijn er waarschijnlijk maar heel weinig meer dan een eeuw oud.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaving technique<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kilim fabrics are manufactured by closely interweaving the warp and weft threads of the fabric to create a flat, pileless surface. Kilim fabrics are rug fabrics, technically woven flat with weft faces, meaning that the horizontal weft threads are pulled tightly downwards to conceal the vertical warp threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelim rug - six different sizes available 170x240cm, 200x250cm, 200x300cm and 250x300cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note: the rugs are handmade and are therefore never exactly the same size (for example, a rug is 242\u00d7177 instead of 240\u00d7170).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
