Characteristics of the Region (Shiraz)

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

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more characterful 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. While most kilims are made of wool, some are also produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are also used for coloring, they can be used with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are durably woven and are based on the 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 across the vast land of Iran. The designs and color characteristics differ by region of origin, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs or floor coverings but also as other interior items, such as wall hangings, throws for sofas or tables, or bedspreads. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive features, and they are often used as accents in a room. 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 a unique charm and warmth to a living space. By incorporating kilims, you can create a life with art, a comfortable life, and enjoy living surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims offer great flexibility in how they can be used and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, incorporating the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent. For natural or Scandinavian interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, and natural material decor can enhance the warmth and natural ambiance of the kilim. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere, enhancing the overall feel of a room when laid on the floor or hung on a wall. 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 an 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-out towel or similar. Afterwards, carefully wipe with water to remove any detergent, then dry in a well-ventilated shade.

Please Note

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