Characteristics of the Origin (Shiraz)

Carpets crafted by the Qashqai tribe residing in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, are characterized by simple, geometric patterns. One can also observe simple animal and plant motifs similar to those found in Gabbeh rugs.

What is Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are traditional hand-woven textiles popular worldwide, becoming more beautiful with age. Depending on the era they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are beloved 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. Since natural dyes are used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are durably 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.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. Each region of origin has distinct design and color characteristics, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are not only used as simple rugs or floor coverings but are also widely utilized as decorative items on walls, sofas, tables, beds, and other interior furnishings. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often used to accent a room. Kilims are not merely decorative items; they are positioned as important elements that enrich the overall ambiance of a room and highlight its individuality. They add a unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By incorporating kilims, you can create a lifestyle surrounded by art and comfort, enjoying a life 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 can enhance the kilim's warmth and natural feel. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere; laying them on the floor or hanging them on the wall can elevate the overall room ambiance. Kilims feature ethnic designs and a 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 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.
