About Zilli Rug

Zilli is a blend of traditional weaving with postmodern lines. The rug is hand-woven using Turkey's geographical indication weaving technique. The motifs were embroidered during weaving with the Cicim technique. It is not post processing. This is the most special detail that distinguishes weaving from others. The motifs also have geographical indications. We used five of these motifs in producing the Zilli rug. The names and journeys of these motifs are; horseshoe (union of lovers), dog paw (happiness, abundance), scorpion (protection from evil), clover (luck), cocklebur (abundance).
