The art of Kilim
A specialist in kilims since the early 1970s, the TRIFF gallery has largely contributed to making these weavings known in France and Europe. Since its creation, the gallery has always favored the criteria of quality, authenticity, aesthetics and originality for the choice of its kilims.

Kilim Circa 1930, from northeastern Turkey
This kilim is exceptional for its size, its exquisite motifs and its beautiful harmony of colors.
The weave is dense and very strong. And as is often the case with kilims of this age, it has been woven in two parts.
Sivas kilims are woven with fine wools and the range of colors used is quite large.
Kilims from this region are often woven in 2 parts. They can be long or short.
There are several registers of motifs.
One very similar to Malatya kilims, is a succession of medallions, very richly patterned, with a border of rich, repetitive motifs, generally echoing the colors of the weave.
But kilims with much simpler, more abstract designs are also found in this region, composed of linearly organized lozenges.
Weaving : Women learned the art of kilim weaving from their mothers or grandmothers.
Kilims were woven by hand, using hand-spun wool, which they dyed as they went along.
Patterns and colors: Each region had its own way of spinning wool, its own patterns and its own palette of colors.
These antique kilims were intended for domestic use.
They were woven without drawing boards, which adds a real personal touch and makes them unique pieces.
Their beauty depends on the way the weaver has interpreted the motifs and combined the colors.
That's why we choose our kilims one by one, to select only the most beautiful.

Every day: you can vacuum, but not at maximum power. Avoid vacuum cleaners with rotating brushes.
Liquid spills: mop up as much liquid as possible and rub gently with a damp cloth.
Grease stains: soak up as much grease as possible with paper towels or terre de Sommières.
Accidents involving animals: in this case, it's very important to act quickly, as animals release acids that will damage wool. Treat your kilim following the same advice as for spilled liquids.
For a more thorough cleaning: it may be that the stains have not been completely treated, or that over the years, despite regular maintenance, dust has settled in and a grey veil has set in. In such cases, it's time to turn to a professional.
That's why we offer a cleaning service, carried out by a company specialized in manual and wet carpet cleaning.
