Characteristics of the Region (Bijar)

Bijar, in northwestern Iran, is known for kilims woven by the Kurdish people. These rugs are very sturdy and durable. They feature small floral patterns and medallions, with beautiful designs that stand out.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are popular worldwide and are 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. Kilims are mostly wool, but some kilims are produced using cotton and silk. Natural materials are used. Natural dyes are also used for dyeing, 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 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, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs or floor coverings, but also as wall hangings, and as other interior items for sofas, tables, and beds. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often used as accent pieces in rooms. Kilims are not merely 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 living space. By utilizing kilims, you can create a life filled with art and comfort, enjoying a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are very flexible in how they can be used and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, incorporating the unique patterns and colors of kilims into a simple space adds an accent to the space. For natural and Nordic interiors, placing wooden furniture and plants, or combining them with interiors made of natural materials, can enhance the warmth and natural feel of kilims. They also go well with a bohemian atmosphere; by laying them on the floor or hanging them on the wall, they can enhance the overall ambiance 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, Morocco, and other regions. By placing them as tapestries or cushions, they 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 towel or similar cloth firmly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, thoroughly wipe with a damp cloth to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Notes

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