{"title":"Anatolian Kilims","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Anatolian kilim is a flat-woven rug from Anatolia with no pile: the pattern is built by the weft itself, packed tight enough to bury the warp, so the piece is thin, light and reversible. Kilims are woven in wool, dyed with madder and indigo, and drawn in geometric motifs that change from district to district.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnatolia has no single kilim. It has several hundred village traditions, each with a palette, a motif set and a weave structure of its own, and the good ones are cataloged by village rather than by style. This page covers how a flat weave is actually constructed, what separates the four main techniques, which districts to look for, and what the motifs meant to the women who wove them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a kilim is built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo sets of threads, and only one of them shows. The warp runs the length of the loom under tension and ends as the fringe. The weft is beaten down across it so hard that the warp disappears — the term is \u003cstrong\u003eweft-faced\u003c\/strong\u003e — and every shape in the design is made by turning a colored weft back at the edge of its own area. Where two colors meet along a vertical line, that turn leaves a small slit in the fabric, which is why the classic Anatolian kilim is called a slit-weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing is knotted, so a kilim has no pile, no nap direction and no right side: the back is as finished as the front. It is thin enough to layer over a larger rug or over boards, light enough to hang, and quicker to weave than a knotted rug, which is reflected in what it costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKilim, cicim, sumak and goat hair\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour flat-weave techniques circulate under the general word kilim, and they are not the same thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eTechnique\u003c\/th\u003e\u003cth\u003eHow it is made\u003c\/th\u003e\u003cth\u003eHow to recognize it\u003c\/th\u003e\u003cth\u003eWhat it suits\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eKilim (slit-weave)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWeft-faced plain weave; colors turn back at the edge of their own area\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmall vertical slits along the color joins; identical on both faces\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFloors, layering, wall hanging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCicim (also cecim)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eExtra wefts brocaded over a plain-woven ground\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eThe motif sits slightly proud of the surface, like embroidery that is woven in\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmall decorative pieces, cushion faces, hangings\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSumak\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWefts wrapped around pairs of warps rather than passed straight through\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eA fine diagonal ridge on the face, loose weft ends on the back\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eHard-wearing floor pieces, bags\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eKıl kilim\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWoven from goat hair rather than sheep's wool\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCoarser, stiffer, with a distinct sheen\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eHeavy use, entries, tent and floor covering traditionally\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost collections mix them, and a single piece may combine two — a slit-woven ground with cicim brocading in the panels is common in Yörük work.

Eşme, in Uşak province, weaves in soft reds and worn pinks. Konya has three separate traditions in Obruk, Akören and İnlice, all of them large-scale and boldly drawn. Mut, in the Taurus, is Yörük work in strong red and dark blue with brocaded panels. Van and Hakkari, in the far east, weave dark, dense pieces at high weft counts. Fethiye and Kaş Barak, on the Mediterranean, use more orange and more white. Denizli's Çal weavings and Manisa's Selendi and Karakeçili work run to narrow formats and running borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe list is long — Sivas, Kayseri, Afyon, Bayat, Balıkesir Yüncü, Bergama Kozak, Aksaray Sultanhanı, Şarkışla, Elmadağ, Ereğli, Malatya, Erzurum Bardız, Adana Bahçecik, Hatay Reyhanlı, Çanakkale, Ağrı — and it is worth reading the district name on a listing before the color. Two kilims that look alike in a photograph can come from traditions eight hundred kilometers apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe motifs, and what they carry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKilim motifs are a written language that stopped being read as writing. The two most common are the \u003cstrong\u003eelibelinde\u003c\/strong\u003e, a stylized female figure with hands on hips that stands for motherhood and fertility, and the \u003cstrong\u003ekoç boynuzu\u003c\/strong\u003e, the ram's horn, which stands for strength. Around them run the smaller marks — the hook, the comb, the eye, the running water — each with a meaning that traveled from mother to daughter. Every district drew them slightly differently, which is how a kilim can be placed by motif as well as by palette. The full vocabulary is set out in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/kilim-motifs-and-meanings\"\u003ekilim motifs and their meanings\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to check before buying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the back first: on a good kilim the design is as sharp behind as in front, and the weft is packed evenly with no gaping between color areas. Then count the wefts over a few centimeters. A denser weave is a heavier, longer-lasting piece and it holds a straight line better. Check the fiber — wool should feel springy and faintly oily rather than dry — and check the dyes by folding a thread back on itself, since a plant dye grades along its length while a chemical dye is flat from end to end. Finally, match the format to the job. This collection runs from 50 × 50 cm (1'8\" × 1'8\") cushion faces and a Yörük saddlebag through village pieces of about 77 × 102 cm (2'6\" × 3'4\") up to room pieces of 186 × 277 cm (6'1\" × 9'1\"), with narrow weavings around 90 × 268 cm (2'11\" × 8'10\") that work as \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/hallway-runners\"\u003ehallway runners\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLiving with one\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake a kilim out or brush it gently with a soft brush rather than running a beater bar over it. Deal with a spill immediately. A full wash belongs with a professional; done at home it means cold water, a mild natural soap, no hard scrubbing, and drying flat in shade rather than in sun, since direct light is what moves the color. Because a kilim is reversible, turning it over once a year distributes wear across both faces — a small habit that adds years to a thin weaving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is an Anatolian kilim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Anatolian kilim is a flat-woven rug from Anatolia with no pile.
