Characteristics of the Region (Bijar)

Bijar, in northwestern Iran, is known for kilims woven by the Kurdish people. These rugs are extremely strong and durable. They feature 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 the era they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some kilims using cotton or silk are also produced. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are also used for dyeing, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are sturdily woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns with motifs such as nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The designs and color characteristics vary by region, allowing you to enjoy diverse design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs and floor coverings, but also as wall hangings and as items to accent other interior pieces 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 but are positioned as important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight individuality. They add unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can create a life with art and comfort, and enjoy living surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims offer great flexibility in how they can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of kilims into a simple space adds an accent. For natural or Nordic interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials enhances the warmth and natural atmosphere of the kilim. They also pair well with a bohemian vibe; placing them on the floor or hanging them on a wall enhances the overall room atmosphere. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or Morocco. Arranging 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 dirt is a concern, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Please Note

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