Khilim Rugs

KHILIM RUGS

A general term including rugs of all sizes, made in Anatolia, Persia, Turkestan and several of the Balkan States. They are woven by hand and have no pile, the weft being of hard-twisted wool. The design, which is the same on both sides, consists of angular geometrical figures in a great variety of colours. They are used for divan covers and portieres.
