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 called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. Kilims are mostly made of wool, but some kilims using cotton or silk are also produced. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are also used for coloring, you can use them with confidence. These hand-woven kilims are durably woven and are based on tribal and ethnic design styles known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns inspired by 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, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of patterns.
