Expertly handcrafted with wool on a wool foundation, this textile represents the kilim tradition—characterized by its absence of pile and created through the precise interweaving of warp and weft threads on horizontal looms. The resulting fabric displays sharp, geometric patterning with remarkable clarity. Prized for their versatility, these lightweight, supple textiles historically served multiple functions beyond floor coverings, including upholstery, drapery, wall hangings, and thermal insulation, while simultaneously functioning as decorative tapestries in traditional dwellings.
