Characteristics of the Region (Shiraz)

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular 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 a wide range of generations, young and old. Most kilims are made of wool, but some kilims are also produced using cotton or silk. Natural materials are used. Since natural dyes are also used for dyeing, 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 are characterized by geometric patterns featuring motifs such as 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 design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs or floor coverings, but also as wall hangings and as items for other interiors such as sofas, tables, and beds. Their unique designs and colors are characteristic, 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 unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can achieve a life with art and a comfortable life, and enjoy living surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are extremely flexible in their use 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 that space. In natural and Scandinavian interiors, by arranging wooden furniture and plants, or combining them with interiors made of natural materials, the warmth and natural atmosphere of kilims can be enhanced. 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 atmosphere of the room. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal atmosphere, making them compatible with interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, Morocco, and other regions. By placing them as tapestries or cushions, warmth and depth can be added to the entire room.

Daily Care

Remove dust and dirt with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If you are concerned about stains, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool and silk) with water and gently wipe the surface with a tightly wrung towel or similar. 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 dye irregularities. Please enjoy these as part of the charm of a hand-woven item.
