What Is a Turkish Kilim?
Origins — Turkish kilims are flatwoven textiles produced for centuries by nomadic and village weavers across Anatolia.
Symbolism — Motifs like diamonds, triangles, hooks, and talismans traditionally express protection, fertility, and life paths.
Weaving Technique — Turkish kilims use interlacing warp and weft yarns; this example features cicim embroidery, a supplementary technique applied over the base weave.
Modern Relevance — Today, kilims blend easily with contemporary interiors, appreciated for their artistry, durability, and cultural depth.
