A small brightly coloured 19th century kilim rug.
Kilim rugs are flat-woven textiles known for their intricate geometric patterns and vibrant colours. Originating in regions like Turkey, Iran, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, kilims have been crafted for centuries using a technique that involves interweaving warp and weft strands.
Unlike pile rugs, kilims have no knotted surface, making them thinner and more lightweight. Traditionally woven by hand, these rugs often carry symbolic motifs representing protection, fertility, or prosperity. Kilims serve both functional and decorative purposes, used as floor coverings, wall hangings, or furniture throws. Today, they are valued for their artistry, cultural significance, and timeless aesthetic appeal.
