Kratais — Vintage Sivas Wool Area Rug

Woven in the Sivas region of Central Anatolia, Turkey, circa 1950s, this is a brown, flat-weave Cicim Kilim in which the plain background has been enhanced by embroidery in shades of red, orange, yellow and white, giving an appealing textured appearance to the surface. Cicim Kilims are often referred to as "embroidered" weavings as the design motifs are applied "in addition to" the warp and weft (supplementary weft technique) adding a textured effect to the plain background. This rug features traditional motif design enhancement on a striped, flatweave background. Cicim rugs are not reversible and, generally, benefit from the use of a rug pad or non-slip underlay to prevent movement on smooth surfaces or high traffic areasIn excellent, original condition, this 100% Genuine Handmade, Vintage, Flat-Weave Cicim Kilim Wool Rug, made in Turkey by Tribal Weavers up to 70 years ago is as appealing today as when it was originally woven.
