The colors and patterns reflect the local nature and traditions, and the distinct beauty of each kilim from Saveh is another characteristic that can be enjoyed.

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 produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are durable and 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.
Various ethnic groups inhabit the vast land of Iran. The designs and color characteristics differ by region, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are incredibly flexible in their use and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space can add an accent. For natural or Scandinavian interiors, by arranging wooden furniture and plants, or combining them with interiors made of natural materials, the warmth and natural ambiance of the kilim can be enhanced. They also go well with a bohemian atmosphere; placing them on the floor or hanging them on the wall can elevate the entire room's ambiance. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or Morocco. By placing them as tapestries or cushions, you can add warmth and depth to the entire room.

Daily Care

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If you notice dirt, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water and gently wipe the surface with a tightly wrung towel or similar. Afterwards, wipe thoroughly with water to remove the detergent, then dry in a well-ventilated shaded area.

Please Note

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