Kilims or woven carpets differ from knotted carpets in that they do not have knots. They are only woven, but there are more than twenty different ways of intertwining the threads for them. Since they are lighter than carpets due to their different structure, they can also be used for curtains, tablecloths, bedspreads, tapestries, sofa upholstery… Compared to knotted carpets, they were neglected for a long time, but in the last twenty years they have gained an equal position with carpets among buyers and collectors. They are of even older origin than knotted carpets and their originality in structure and motifs has been preserved to this day. You can read more about kilims in the blog menu.
