The Indispensable of Decoration: Woven Kilims
Kilims, with a history dating back to ancient times, were preferred by people who led a nomadic lifestyle. People who temporarily set up their tents covered the base of their tents with kilims, thus protecting themselves from cold, dirt, and pests. Since those kilims they wove with their hands-on looms became the floor of their nests, it was unthinkable to have a floor without kilims. From that time until today, woven kilims have become an indispensable part of decoration.
Kilims woven meticulously on looms are produced with known motifs by the unique interpretation of the artisan and natural materials. Therefore, they are durable and can be used for many years. Repairing them in case of damage is easy. When it comes to carpet weaving, Turks, who are one of the first names that come to mind globally, are the nation that first wove kilims. Kilims are woven in two-thread systems, made of natural wool, and without pile. Common Turkish motifs include child motif, deer motif, dragon motif, tree of life motif, scorpion motif, trap motif, amulet motif, eagle motif, hand on hip motif, earring motif, eye motif, abundance motif, ram's horn motif, and human motif.
