Origin: Iran
Weaving Type: Kilims
Age: NEW
Size approx: 40-45cm x 40-45cm
Weft/ Warp: Wool
Condition: Excellent
Retail Price: $199
This cushion made from handwoven Persian kilim. The original kilim rug is made of wool. The backing is also wool and closed with a solid hidden zipper.
The name 'kilim' or 'kelim' is Turkish, and comes from the Persian gelim () 'to spread roughly', which is probably of Mongolian origin.
The difference between a kilim area rug and a carpet or a pile rug is that whereas the design visible on the kilim is made by interweaving the variously colored wefts and warps, thus creating what is known as a flat weave, in a pile rug individual short strands of different color, usually of wool, are knotted onto the warps and held together by pressing the wefts tightly against each other. In this case the whole design is made by these separately knotted strands which form the pile, and the patterns become clearly visible after any excessive lengths of the knotted materials are shorn off to create a level surface.
Please look at our other auctions for fine, unusual, over sized, new, semi-antique and antique Persian, Afghani, Turkish, Nepalian, Tibetan, Pakistani and Indian rugs. We carry modern and transitional floor coverings, collectible tribal kilims, runners and silk carpets in all sizes and shapes including oval, square and round rugs.
