Characteristics of the Origin (Bijar)

Bijar, 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 popular worldwide and are traditional hand-woven textiles that grow more beautiful 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. 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 inspired by nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The design and color characteristics differ by region of origin, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are not only used as rugs or floor coverings but are also widely used as decorative items for walls, sofas, tables, beds, and other interiors. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive and are often used as an accent in a room. Kilims are not just decorative items; they are 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 create a life surrounded by art and comfort, and enjoy a lifestyle surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interiors

The ways kilims can be used are very flexible, and they 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 to the room. For natural or Nordic interiors, combining kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural atmosphere. They also go well with a Bohemian vibe; placing them on the floor or hanging them on the wall enhances the overall atmosphere of the room. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal feel, and they are well-suited 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 firmly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with water to remove any detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated shaded area.
