Woven by, and used by nomadic peoples from a wide geographic area, Kilims have been woven for thousands of years. In fact, flat woven fragments were found amongst the 1949 Pazyryk excavations in the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia with the discoveries dating from 400-500 B.C. There is evidence to suggest that flat-weaving was in existence long before then.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eWhen thinking of Kilims and flat-weaves, one automatically thinks in terms of floor rugs. This is because they are a desirable on-trend furnishing choice appealing for their colours, designs and amenable price-point. However, flat-weaving takes many different forms. \u003cspan\u003eNomadic tribes and tribal people use flat-weave techniques to make all sorts of interesting functional items. For instance, saddle bags, salt bags, sofreh, tent bands, jajims, chanteh small bags, etc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eIn our Patchwork Kilims you will discover, contained within them, are a wide variety of flat weave pieces woven with different techniques. These flatwoven segments were likely made for differing purposes: some would have been made as rugs or coverings or even from tribal trappings such as saddle bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade from vintage Kilim fragments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis Patchwork Kilim rug contains a unique mix of rich colours, patterns, and textures from authentic old handwoven tribal Kilim rugs.
