All rugs in the world are divided into those who have pile and those who have not. For pileless rugs’ turn they are subdivided into so called “sumachs” and “kilims”. These types of pileless rugs date back to the early 5th century. Their beautiful names mean only technological characteristics.
Mats are the prototypes of modern rugs. A mat is the first floor covering in the history of mankind. In past, mats were more alike modern carpets than they are now.
Their pile was fastened to the woven base with knots. Kilim rugs belong to pileless, hand-made rugs. Kilim rugs have no technological or wrong side.
While weaving kilim rugs, coloured thread is used. As a result a surface of kilim rugs is double-sided. Kilim rugs can be used as floor covering as well as tablecloth, bedspread or drapery. The absence of pile allows to put heavy furniture on kilim rugs, without detriment to the surface.
As a rule kilim rugs are very light and easily cleaned. Kilim rugs are only hand-made and that is why they are very expensive.
