A good quality hand knotted wool Kilim rug from turkey. The rug shows some evidence of ware but still has lots of life left in it.

Kilim is a form of oriental flat tapestry-woven carpet, which comes originally from Asiatic nomads, who as far back as 1000 years before Christ used the carpet in their tents, to protect against the cold and to prevent the wet from forcing its way into the tent. However, a Kilim carpet functions just as much as decoration and communication thanks to the symbols and signs on the carpet. 3000 years later, many Kilim carpets have found there way into homes in the west, for the history, culture and beauty that come with a Kilim carpet.
