Characteristics of the Region (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 found.

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 made of cotton or silk are also produced. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are used for coloring, 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 are characterized by geometric patterns with motifs of nature and animals, and each kilim has its own unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The designs and colors vary by region, offering a diverse range of patterns to enjoy.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs or floor coverings, but also as wall hangings and as decorative items for other furniture such as sofas, tables, and beds. Their distinctive designs and colors are their hallmark, and they are often used as accents in a room. Kilims are not merely decorative items; they are important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight its individuality. They add a unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can create a life with art and comfort, and enjoy a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims can be incorporated into various interior styles with great flexibility. In modern interiors, the unique patterns and colors of kilims can add an accent to a simple space. For natural or Nordic interiors, combining kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with a Bohemian atmosphere; placing them on the floor or hanging them on the wall can enhance 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, 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 you notice dirt, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water and gently wipe the surface with a tightly wrung towel or similar item. Then, carefully wipe with water to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Important Notes

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