Cicim is a small, handwoven flatweave textile made with tightly packed cotton or wool warps and brightly dyed wool wefts. Created with slit‑weave and supplementary‑weft techniques, it features a slightly raised, durable pattern. Traditionally woven by Anatolian village and nomadic weavers for saddlebags, bags, and decorative panels, cicim rugs are valued for their folk artistry, regional motifs, and sturdy, functional construction.
Info
Woven by hand using traditional techniques, it features a light-ground field patterned in neat vertical rows of colorful medallions — lively corals, greens, soft pinks and earthy neutrals — each formed from tightly packed geometric stitches that give the piece warm texture and visual rhythm. Narrow black wave-stripe columns separate the rows and add crisp contrast so the colors sing against the cream background. Natural fringed ends and slight irregularities in shape confirm its handcrafted origin and give it authentic charm.
