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 is known for its Yörük and Turkmen village cicims.
Where it works
At 71 × 192 cm, this runner suits a hallway, bedside or entry, or can be displayed as a collector’s textile.
Care
Vacuum gently without the beater bar, rotate every few months for even wear, and blot spills straight away with a damp cloth. For antique pieces, we recommend professional cleaning only.
