Description

Jijim rugs (also spelled "cicim" or "jajim") are a flat-woven textile style that originated from various regions in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Turkey. Unlike pile rugs constructed from tying wool knots against a cotton or wool foundation, jijim rugs were created using a specific weaving technique on a horizontal loom to interlace the weft and warp threads. This technique creates intricate patterns and allows for a variety of designs, including geometric motifs, floral patterns, and tribal symbols. Different regions and cultures have their own unique jijim styles, making each piece a reflection of the local heritage and artistic traditions. These textiles are often used as decorative rugs, wall hangings, or even as blankets in some cultures. They can be made from various materials such as wool, cotton, or a combination of both.
