Dhurries and Kilims

By the most stringent definition, Oriental rugs have pile. Kilims and dhurries are flat-weaves, which means they have no pile, but they’re sold together with true Oriental rugs. Dhurries are made of cotton or wool in India, while kilims are made in Turkey and Egypt, among other countries, and are typically made of wool.

Flat-woven rugs are ornamental – they come in floral or geometric patterns and in colors ranging from muted to bright. Although they are to some extent less sturdy than pile rugs, they should still last for years, even in high-traffic areas. Wool is somewhat more durable than cotton. One downside is that kilims and dhurries don’t mask stains as well as pile rugs because there’s nowhere for dirt to hide.

Be sure to check your rugs to make sure they aren’t wet from the recent and upcoming flooding. Mildew sets in fast! If you do have a wet rug that needs to be taken care of, give us a call!

A skilled weaver can tie around 10,000 to 14,000 knots in a day, which is quite a lot of work. On a rug that has about 160 knots per square inch measuring six feet by nine feet, only one inch across the entire width will be completed in one day. To finish the rug, it will take approximately five months.
