The art of kilims, symbolic support for ancient cultures

The kilim is a rural art form handed down from mother to daughter. Each region or tribe has its own interpretation of the motifs, its own wools and its own preparation. Collector's kilims are specific in that they were woven before the arrival of chemical dyes, so the wools were dyed with vegetable dyes. Vegetable colors are characterized by their density and brilliance, which have been preserved over time, and by the systematic use of indigo blue.

Suzani late 19th century, used as a wedding cloth symbolizing a passage.

The shape of the arch represents the Mihrab in the Islamic religion. In religious architecture and textiles, it is a symbol of passage, suggesting not only the existence of the beyond, the divine, but also the possibility of surrounding it.

In symbolism, the young couple lie down together under divine protection on their first night. According to custom, the empty, unembroidered part was to show proof of the bride's virginity.
