What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that grow more beautiful with age. Depending on the era they were woven, they are referred to as vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some kilims using cotton or silk are also produced. They use natural materials. As natural dyes are also used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are robustly 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 a unique design.
