Kilim is a variant of carpet, wool or cotton, without fur on the surface, woven like a wall tapestry, with the presence of the most varied figures ranging from flowers to birds, from a girl who dances to wedding rituals, from everyday objects to musical instruments. The peculiarity of this fabric is expressed through the perfect balance between the genuineness and spontaneity of popular art and the sophistication of the styles depicted. Kilim Bessarabia is used not only as a floor mat but is also used to adorn walls, dining rooms, coffee tables and home furniture. See less
