	Antique Kilim Rugs from Persia by the Nazmiyal Collection
		Kilim (Gilim in Persian) is a Turkish word denoting rugs made in simple flatwoven or tapestry technique, in which the pattern is produced entirely by horizontal wefts that cover the vertical warps.
		The most well-known Kilims are those of Turkey or Anatolia, which are varied in type and effect, but Caucasian and Persian Kilims are also appreciated nowadays for their color and high technical skill.
		Given their thinner, supple structure, Kilims are usable not only as decorative floor covering, but also as wall hangings and on furniture or bed coverlets as well.
