Characteristics of the Region (Shiraz)

The rugs crafted by the Qashqai people living in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, are characterized by simple and geometric patterns. You can also see simple animal and plant motifs similar to those found in Gabbeh rugs.

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 referred to as vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are beloved by people of all ages. While most kilims are made of wool, some kilims are produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials, and since natural dyes are also 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 inspired by nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live across the vast land of Iran. The design and color characteristics differ 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 or as elements in other interior decor, such as sofas, tables, and beds. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often used as accent pieces in a room. Kilims are not merely decorative items; they are important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight its individuality. They add unique charm and warmth to a living space. By incorporating kilims, you can create a life with art, a comfortable life, and enjoy a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are highly versatile and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent. For natural or Nordic interiors, combining kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere; by laying them on the floor or hanging them on the wall, they can elevate the entire room's mood. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, and Morocco. Arranging 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 need to clean a stain, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, carefully wipe with a damp cloth to remove any detergent residue, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Please Note

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