Story Behind the Art: Flatweave rugs are distinguished by their pileless construction, where interlaced knots create a smooth, reversible surface with identical patterns on both sides. Rather than originating from a single culture, this weaving style evolved across various regions, rooted in the nomadic and tribal traditions of the East. Over time, unique forms such as the Indian dhurrie, Moroccan hanbel, and Turkish cicim kilim emerged, each reflecting local materials and artistic expression. Traditionally woven with wool on a wool foundation, modern versions often include cotton bases for added strength and flexibility. Despite regional variations, all flatweaves are celebrated for their lasting durability, fine craftsmanship, and timeless aesthetic appeal.
