What makes a cicim kilim special

Cicim (pronounced "jee-jim") is a decorative technique in which extra coloured threads are wrapped over the base weave, so the motifs sit slightly raised on the surface. Aksaray, in Central Anatolia, is one of the best-known regions for fine cicim weaving.

Where it works

At 110 × 112 cm, this square kilim suits a living room corner, bedroom, reading nook or office, or can be hung on a wall.

Care

Vacuum regularly without the beater bar, rotate every few months for even wear, and blot spills straight away with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning, we recommend a professional rug cleaner.
