The kilim, also spelled klim or kelim (word of Turkish origin), is a carpet without velvet because it is embroidered instead of knotted. The kilim is made in various cities in Anatolia and Iran. Its name, which comes from the Persian gelim, is used to designate a flat-stitch wool carpet found mainly in the Near East, the Caucasus and Central Asia and which appeared almost 10 years ago. 000 years! Kilims have their meaning. They emanate a strong identity retracing the memory of the sedentary, nomadic and semi-nomadic people who make them. A style, an identity characterizes a tribe, a village: fiery or sober colors, complex or refined patterns depending on the region. The patterns correspond to ancestral symbolic writing inherited from shamanist beliefs. The geometry of the patterns and their ethnic tone characterize their DNA. The kilim was originally used as an indoor stole, blanket or carpet protecting the floors of mosques and yurts.
Nowadays, it can be used on the floor, on the walls, as a sofa throw, as a headboard or as curtains.
