Kilim the complete guide
In recent years, demand for kilims (flatwoven textiles) has reached unprecedented levels. Kilim: The Complete Guide unravels the complex questions surrounding the origins and history of these unique rugs and their makers. Hundreds of illustrations, many in colour, complement original research on techniques and motifs in the different countries where kilims are made, including Morocco, Persia and Afghanistan.
Chapters on new kilims, and the use of kilims as bags as well as rugs, together with a reference guide to collecting, care and further study, conclude a fine volume for textile collectors and enthusiasts.
