Characteristics of the Origin (Shiraz)

Rugs made by the Qashqai tribe living in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, are characterized by simple and geometric patterns. Simple animal and plant patterns, similar to Gabbeh rugs, can also be seen.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are popular worldwide and are traditional hand-woven textiles that grow richer in character with use. Depending on the era 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 are also produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are 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 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 or as other interior items for sofas, tables, and beds. Their distinctive designs and colors are characteristic, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. Kilims are not merely decorative items but are positioned as important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and emphasize individuality. They add unique charm and warmth to a living space. By using kilims, you can achieve an art-filled and comfortable lifestyle, enjoying a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are highly versatile and can be incorporated into various interior design styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of kilims into a simple space adds an accent. For natural and Scandinavian interiors, combining kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or natural materials enhances their warmth and natural atmosphere. They also go well with a bohemian vibe; laying them on the floor or hanging them on the wall enhances the overall room atmosphere. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, and 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 notice dirt, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water and gently wipe the surface with a tightly wrung towel or similar. Afterward, wipe thoroughly with water to remove the detergent, then dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Please Note

Due to being hand-woven, there may be slight distortions in shape, weaving irregularities, or color variations. Please enjoy these as part of the unique charm of hand-woven items.
