Description

The Turkish word "kilim" refers to a flat woven rug typically originating from the Caucasus, North Africa, and West and Central Asia. While other types of patterned rugs are made with individual wefts of colored material, kilim designs are produced by weaving different colors to create a design. While kilim rugs are made in many different designs, they are most often associated with geometric designs such as the ones featured on these two rugs.
