Turkish Kilims
This stunning Turkish cecim is a feast for the senses. The embroidered motifs give it a beautiful texture that instantly warms a space. The fabulous range of colors create a lively portrait for a floor or a wall. I could stare at this cecim for hours (and I have) and still find something new to discover. It is one of the joys of spending time with beautiful rugs and kilims.
Cecims can be used in a great variety of ways. They can, of course, be used as floor coverings similar to other kilims. They can also be used as wall hangings as their great detail and beauty can rival any painting or other form of art. Cecims can also be used as a regular textile draped over a sofa or ottoman, covering a table, or a bench. Caring for cecims is very similar to caring for a kilim or a rug. If a cecim is used as a floor covering, professional cleaning should be done approximately every two years or so. If it is a wall hanging, professional cleaning does not have to be done with nearly as much frequency. A good cleaning schedule can extend the life of a beautiful cecim so it can be enjoyed for many, many years. ---
