Nomadic Urfa Jijim Kilim

The Urfa jijim kilim is crafted from rugged, all-natural mountain sheep wool, designed for versatile purposes including use as a durable cover. These kilim & carpets were mostly woven for specific reasons, such as dowry, gift, commission based by someone, or for the decoration of one’s home.  That is why they are not regular sizes like today’s rugs in perfect sizes or colors. These are very rare finds, because the art of weaving in these original areas is disappearing very fast due to more opportunities in big cities.  Weaving was a pastime activity in most of rural areas of greater Mesopotamia to Central Asia and the source of income as well. They have been all checked for damages, if needed, restored, such as the fringes and edges by Turkish carpet restoration experts in Turkey.
