Tribal kilims are flat-woven rugs or tapestries traditionally made by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of North Africa. They are characterized by their geometric designs, bold colors, and rugged texture.
Kilims are made by interweaving weft threads tightly over and under the warp threads on a loom to create a flat surface with no pile. This technique results in a rug that is durable, lightweight, and easy to transport, which is important for nomadic tribes who need to move frequently.
Tribal kilims are often used as floor coverings or wall hangings and are valued for their cultural and historical significance as well as their aesthetic appeal. They are also highly collectible and can be quite valuable depending on their age, condition and provenance. less
