Kilim Rugs | Tribal Rugs

These tribal rugs are basically flat woven carpets that are made by nomadic races hailing from Russia, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, India, Morocco, China and Pakistan. All Kilim rugs vary in design depending on where they were made.
Tribal rugs made in Iran feature heavy blue, green, burgundy and rust colors. Those made in Turkey are distinguished by turquoise and bright orange. The Kilim rugs made by Kurds in Iraq have distinctly brighter designs and come with embroidery.
Kilim rugs have several purposes – they may be used as prayer rugs by Muslims; to cover doors and windows in houses; or as a part of a bride’s dowry. Kilim rugs are considered to be precious to a family’s prestige and symbolize a tribe’s identity. Women in many tribes weave Kilim rugs at home.
The patterns in Kilim rugs are formed by colorful weft strings that are wrapped around the warp. Since these rugs are completely hand woven, it is impossible to find two Kilim rugs anywhere in the world that are identical.

Many tribal rugs use geometry inspired designs and plenty of them will have wildlife as part of the design. Some of them have animals blended within the rugs in unique shapes and designs.
