Carpet berbere kilim corridor new 80x280 cm

What is a kilim The term kilim (or klim) refers to a specific manufacturing technique, namely that your carpet will be embroidered instead of being like a majority of berber carpets, knotted. This distinction results in the absence of velvet on your carpet. Also, do not be surprised to hear in morocco about hanbel carpets, and in turkey about kelim carpets, both belong to the category of kilims but come from different tribes and especially from different countries. A kilim carpet can therefore be afghan, turkish or moroccan. What is the history of the kilims You can find kilim rugs from pakistan, afghanistan, morocco and many other countries. Each country offers shades of specific colors of beige, red, black... This is what usually determines the origin of your kilim carpet. In the same way, the patterns of the carpet make it possible to know which exact nomadic tribe it is. Concerning the hanbel carpet, it comes from the surroundings of rabat and the middle atlas. Like many berber carpets, the kilim carpet was designed by moroccan tribes to protect themselves from harsh climatic conditions, namely cold and humidity. It served as a blanket, partition and floor protection in tents.
