Characteristics of the Origin (Bijar)

Bijar, located in northwestern Iran, is known for kilims woven by the Kurdish people. These rugs are extremely sturdy and durable. They are characterized by small floral patterns and medallions, with beautiful designs that stand out.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing with age. Depending on when they were woven, they are referred to as vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. While most kilims are made of wool, some kilims are also produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are also used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are durably woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns with motifs of nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The designs and colors vary by region of origin, offering a diverse range of design patterns to enjoy.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are not only used as simple rugs or floor coverings but are also widely used as wall hangings and as items for other interior furnishings such as sofas, tables, and beds. Their distinctive designs and colors are characteristic, and they are often utilized as room accents. Kilims are not merely decorative items; they are positioned as important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight its individuality. They add unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can achieve a life surrounded by art and comfort, and enjoy a life filled with things you love.

Kilims and Interiors

Kilims are highly versatile and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent. For natural or Nordic interiors, combining kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or interiors made from natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere; placing them on the floor or hanging them on a wall can elevate the entire room's mood. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or Morocco. Placing them as tapestries or cushions can add warmth and depth to the entire room.

Daily Care

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If you are concerned about stains, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with water to remove any detergent and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Please Note

Due to being hand-woven, there may be slight distortions in shape, weaving irregularities, or uneven dyeing. Please enjoy these as part of the charm of a hand-woven item.
