Kilim rugs are made in Turkey, world renowned for the quality of its flat weave rugs.
This ancient tradition has been revived and renewed within the last decade, with a variety of new styles and designs.
These days, rug manufacturers collect old and damaged kilims, curtains and burlap sacks from around Anatolia and use them to create contemporary pieces that still retain their ethnic glamour.
Likewise, Unique Rugs specialise in felt rugs and kilim rugs, all of which have been hand selected to ensure the best available quality rug. The company’s collection is made from vintage rugs and curtains that have been recycled and redesigned as new and striking patchwork kilim rugs.
Featured here is the Blue/Green Recycled Kilim Rug. Priced at £682.
Recycled patchwork rugs also have an appeal on another level important to modern day consumers, since they are considered to be very environmentally friendly, made with 100% pure recycled wool, and dyed using traditional natural vegetable dyes.
These kilims conform to the concerns about sustainability and ethical shopping.
This beautiful blend of both ethnic and contemporary design styles, fits very nicely with modern minimalist design concepts and they also make very striking wall hangings:
- A professional designer creates a new work of art in its own right, by incorporating into the rugs, unusual and unique details, such as beads, rug tassels, wish knots and blemishes found in the original pieces. It is then re-dyed, normally in bold statement colours as has long been the tradition in Turkish kilims.
- The wish knots seen on many of the pieces, have their own secret story, as each one was sewn into the original textiles by young girls from the east of Turkey, each knot representing a wish that the young girl has for her future.
