kilim
Pileless floor covering handwoven by tapestry techniques in Anatolia, the Balkans, and parts of Iran. The name is also given to a variety of brocaded, embroidered, warp-faced, and other flat-woven rugs and bags. A common characteristic is a slit that occurs wherever two colors meet along a vertical line in the pattern. The finest examples are silk 16th-17th-cent. pieces from Kashan, Iran. The largest kilims are produced in Turkey, as are smaller examples and prayer kilims (prayer rugs); Turkish weavers often use cotton for the white areas, and small details may be brocaded. The kilims of the S Balkans, originally copies of Turkish types, gradually developed individual styles. Kilims become progressively less Oriental in color and pattern as the distance from Turkey increases.
