Characteristics of the Origin (Shiraz)

Rugs made by the Qashqai people living in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, are characterized by simple, geometric patterns. Simple animal and plant patterns, similar to those found in 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 when 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. Natural dyes are also used, so 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 feature geometric patterns with motifs of 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 differ by region of origin, offering a diverse range of design patterns to enjoy.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs or floor coverings, but also as wall decorations or as items for other interior furnishings such as sofas, tables, and beds. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often utilized 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 room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can create a life surrounded by art and comfort, and enjoy living with things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are highly versatile and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent to the area. For natural or Scandinavian interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or natural materials can enhance the kilim's warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere; laying them on the floor or hanging them on a wall can elevate the overall feel of the room. 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 need to clean a stain, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel firmly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with water to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Points to Note

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