Characteristics of the Region (Saveh)

Saveh is located southwest of Tehran and is known as a kilim producing region in Iran. Kilims woven in this region often use cotton for the warp and wool for the weft, making them durable and long-lasting. They also feature a wide variety of designs and attractive rich color schemes. The colors and patterns reflect the local nature and traditions, and one of the characteristics of Saveh kilims is the ability to enjoy a different beauty in each kilim.

What is a kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are popular worldwide and are traditional hand-woven textiles that grow richer in character with age. Depending on the era in which 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 are made from natural materials. Natural dyes are also used for coloring, so you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are robustly woven and are based on the tribal and ethnic design styles known as tribal rugs. They are characterized by 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 designs and colors vary by region, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are not only used simply as rugs or floor coverings but are also widely used as decorative items for walls, sofas, tables, beds, and other interior furnishings. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, 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 and comfort, enjoying a home surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interiors

The use of kilims is highly flexible 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 kilims with wooden furniture, plants, and natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural atmosphere. They also pair well with a Bohemian aesthetic, enhancing the overall feel of a room when laid on the floor or hung on a wall. Kilims have ethnic designs and tribal atmospheres, 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 the entire room.

Daily Care

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If you need to clean a stain, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel or similar cloth tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with water to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

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.
