Kilims
Once considered as the rug of the rural, humble or even poor person, the kilim is now associated to the 'first arts', ethnic and primitive.
The kilim is the expression of a very old major art where we find a tribal language specific to different ethnic groups (formats, designs, zoomorphs, colors).
Indispensable to the life of the nomad, it served as insulation (groundsheet), bag (gorjin, namakdan, mafresh) to store goods and food, blanket (djajim) ... The kilim constituted an important part of the dowry for a wedding occasion.
Today, the kilim has found its place in our traditional and contemporary interiors.
The kilim is a 'flat woven' carpet without knots and without pile. Different techniques are used.
Depending on the origins, it is called 'kilim' in Turkey, 'gelim' in Iran, 'kelim' in Afghanistan, 'palas' in the Caucasus, ...
