Characteristics of the Origin (Shiraz)

Rugs made by the Qashqai people 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 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 with cotton or silk are also produced. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are used for dyeing, you can use them 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 are characterized by geometric patterns featuring 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 depending on the 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 decorative items for walls, sofas, tables, beds, and other interior elements. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. Kilims are not just decorative items; they are 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 achieve an artful and comfortable lifestyle, enjoying a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are extremely versatile 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 Nordic interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials enhances the warmth and natural atmosphere of the kilim. They also blend well with a bohemian ambiance; placing them on the floor or hanging them on a wall enhances the overall atmosphere of the room. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, Morocco, and other regions. Placing them as tapestries or cushions can add warmth and depth to the entire room.

Daily Care

Remove dust and debris 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 a damp cloth to remove the detergent and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Important Notes

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