Adana Cecim Jejim Cicim Small Kilim Southern Anatolian Carpet Turkish Yastık Rug

About the Item

This is a traditional handwoven kilim from the Adana region in southern Türkiye. Measuring 57 cm x 96 cm, it is made from 100% wool. Originally, this piece was used as the front panel of a cushion known as a "Yastık", and is distinguished by its unique design and color palette. Design and Colors; Kilim rugs from the Adana region are known for their vivid colors and geometric patterns. This piece is no exception, featuring deep tones of red, blue, and green masterfully combined around a large central diamond-shaped medallion. The surrounding intricate border patterns reflect the region's traditional design motifs. Material and Craftsmanship; Crafted using high-quality wool and traditional hand-weaving techniques, this kilim is a fine example of durable and beautiful craftsmanship. Weavers from the Adana area have passed down their skills through generations, creating kilims that embody both utility and artistry. Cultural Background; Yastık refers to a traditional Turkish cushion, and this kilim was originally woven to be its front-facing panel. The blend of functionality and decoration strongly reflects the culture and lifestyle of the Adana region. Condition; As an old kilim, it shows the natural charm and texture that comes with age, yet remains in overall good condition. With proper care, it will retain its beauty and character for years to come. Usage; This kilim is ideal for use as an entryway mat, an accent in small spaces, or even as a wall hanging. Its distinctive design and warm colors add both charm and personality to any interior. Note; Due to its vintage nature, minor signs of wear or color fading may be present. Please check the details before purchase, and feel free to contact us with any questions. This Adana Old Kilim is a one-of-a-kind piece that brings the richness of history and culture into your home, adding a unique and timeless touch to your decor. Adana, situated in the fertile Çukurova plain (previously known as the Cilician plain, through which the Seyhan and Ceyhan rivers run), is a busy Industrial and agricultural center. The region has always benefited from its location on the Arab and Anatolian trade routes by controlling the passes through the Taurus Mountains to Syria. A Hittite settlement existed there from 1400 BC, and the land was conquered by Alexander the Great in the fourth century BC. From the late thirteenth century to the eighteenth century, Adana was ruled by the Turkoman Ramazan dynasty, succeeded in turn by Ottoman rule. Large kilims made in two halves often have medallions of various shapes hexagonal diamonds, for example - as a main feature, whereas others have small and repetitive motifs, such as a hooked diamond shape enclosed within a hexagon, filling the main field. Single borders are usually found on both large and small kilims. The small kilims differ widely in design; amongst others, some prayer-arch kilims and some with hexagonal hooked motifs can be seen. Kilims continue to be woven in the villages of the Adana region that are made according to the weavers' taste, and as with other modern village kilims, the colors need the benefit of two months' sun-fading to become saleable. The Adana region produces much cotton, and its kilims often have cotton warps. Cotton is also used for color contrast in both border and field, where reds, pink, orange, green, purple, and blue fading to grey are also common. The older kilims are of medium- and fine-spun wool, whereas the modern kilims are becoming very coarse and loosely woven. Slitweave is the prevalent weaving technique in the area. On the far west tip of the Cilician plain, southwest of Adana and close to the Mediterranean Sea, the town of Silifke was founded in the third century BC by the Alexandran general Seleucus Nicator, who established the Seleucid dynasty that ruled Syria. Silifke is also known as the place where Emperor Frederick Barbarossa met his demise during the Third Crusade by falling off his horse into the river! Kilims made in this region are normally small or medium in Size. Yastiks and çuval are also woven in çiçim, zili, and weft-wrapping techniques. The design often consists of a thin elibelinde mother-goddess motif repeated in different colors in vertical lines - this creates an interesting three-dimensional effect. Colors used include red, brown, orange, pink, some blue and green, and white cotton.
