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 motifs, similar to those found in Gabbeh rugs, can also be seen.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular and are traditional hand-woven textiles that grow richer in character with age. Depending on the era they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are beloved by a wide range of generations, young and old. While most kilims are made of wool, some are produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are also used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are durably woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups, known as tribal rugs. They are characterized by geometric patterns inspired by 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 of origin, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as rugs or floor coverings but also as decorative items on walls, sofas, tables, beds, and other interior elements. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often used as accents in rooms. Kilims are not merely decorative items but are important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight individuality. They add a unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can create an artistic and comfortable living space and enjoy a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interiors

Kilims are highly 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 Scandinavian interiors, placing wooden furniture and plants or combining them with natural material interiors can enhance the kilim's warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with bohemian atmospheres, enhancing the overall mood of a room whether laid on the floor or hung on a wall. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal feel, making them well-suited 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 are concerned about stains, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a 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 irregularities in shape, weaving, and dyeing. Please enjoy these as part of the charm of a hand-woven piece.
