Vintage “pala” or “chaput” kilims, as they are known in Turkish, are flatweave rugs hand-made from unraveled fabrics of cotton and mixed fiber blends. Chaput weaving was an old tradition in Asia Minor (Turkey) born from the need to reuse old textiles, merging what was at hand into unique functional pieces of craftsmanship. Nomadic weavers usually used narrow looms and sewn together the panels to form a two, sometimes three winged reversible area rugs. Eco-friendly and creative, each chaput kilim is unique in its coloring and hues because fabrics were employed in their original colors.

Excellent Rugs and Company!

Y’all have the best rugs. I’ve ordered six vintage rugs and they’ve surpassed my expectations. I generally do not like buying rugs online because of the color variations, and unwrapping the delivery is kind of like opening a grab bag….you’re never sure what’s going to be inside! But I’ve always been super pleased; the rugs are of excellent quality, true to size, with a beautiful warm, vintage feel. The little free gifts y’all throw in are much appreciated too! Can’t say enough good things. :)

My rug is gorgeous

My rug is gorgeous, clean, and in excellent shape. The colors are were very true to the images online. I was expecting a certificate of authenticity but I may have misunderstood that part and it doesn't really matter because the quality is obvious. Also love the special goodies included with the shipment. I will order again from kilm!
