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. Balıkesir, in north-western Turkey, is known for its Yörük and Turkmen village cicims.

Where it works

At 131 × 184 cm, this kilim suits a bedroom, study, entryway or the space in front of a sofa. Its warm reds bring energy to neutral rooms.

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.
