Flatweaves

Kilims and flat-weaves are some of the most interesting tribal rugs. The women make such pieces for the floors of their tents. They need such covers for the floor of their tents that they erect in the pastoral camps.

Such items must be light and versatile. They use them as rugs, wall coverings, and even blankets. They are not as heavy and thick as pile rugs and are easier to transport.

When it comes to creating kilims, tribal women make their wild imaginations fly and do miracles. They depict motives that they have inherited from their ancestors and freely develop new ones. They create the most remarkable pieces in a technique that has thousands of years of history. Some of the kilims are astonishing art objects. The tribal women have woven them for and out of their hearts and not for the market. Thus are the often irregular shapes, designs, and colors.

We are proud to have a beautiful collection of such pieces in our gallery.
