Vintage Khaki Turkish Jajim Flatweave Area Rug 5'7 X 9'2 E24929
The Jajim (cecim) technique is followed in Turkey and the Caucasus and consists of a plain weave (equal warps and wefts) ground with an added (supplementary) weft pattern. The wefts are usually discontinuous, cut off on the verso (back). The pattern develops as the ground is woven on the loom and not added afterwards as on an embroidered rug. It is easier to make repeating geometric patterns of squares, lozenges, diamonds, stepped diagonal lines and areas of plain color. Colors: pale khaki/soft sage/faded teal/pink
