Characteristics of the Region (Shiraz)

The carpets made by the Qashqai tribe living in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, are characterized by simple, geometric patterns. You can also find simple animal and plant patterns, similar to Gabbeh.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are popular worldwide and are traditional hand-woven textiles that gain more character with use. Depending on the era they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some kilims are also produced using cotton and silk. Natural materials are used. Since natural dyes are used for coloring, 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 colors vary by region, 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 decorative items on 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 the space. By incorporating kilims, you can create a life surrounded by art and comfort, enjoying a home filled with things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are incredibly versatile and can be incorporated into various interior design styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent. For natural or Scandinavian interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials enhances the warmth and natural ambiance of the kilim. They also blend well with a bohemian atmosphere; laying them on the floor or hanging them on a wall enhances the overall room's mood. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or 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 towel 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, and dyeing inconsistencies. Please enjoy these as part of the charm of hand-weaving.
