Turkish Cicim Rug – 6×8
This authentic Anatolian Cicim rug is a one-of-a-kind vintage textile, handwoven in Turkey approximately 60 years ago. Combining a flatwoven base with embroidered geometric motifs, it reflects a distinctive weaving tradition known for its tactile richness and expressive design. Its balanced proportions make it ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or as a decorative accent in curated interiors that embrace depth, craftsmanship, and heritage. Design & Technique The rug features a large-scale geometric composition enriched with tribal motifs, arranged in a structured yet dynamic layout. The Cicim technique—where motifs are embroidered onto the flatweave surface—creates subtle texture and dimension, giving the rug a layered, almost sculptural quality. This interplay between flatweave and embroidery makes Cicim rugs both visually unique and highly durable.
