Characteristics of the Origin (Shiraz)

Rugs made by the Qashqai tribe living in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, are characterized by simple, geometric patterns. Simple animal and plant motifs, similar to those found in Gabbeh rugs, are also seen.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular and are traditional hand-woven textiles that grow richer in character 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 also 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 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 its own unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. Each region of origin has different design and color characteristics, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs and floor coverings, but also as wall hangings and as items for other interiors such as sofas, tables, and beds. Their distinctive designs and colors are characteristic, and they are often used as accents in a room. Kilims are not just 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 surrounded by art and comfort, and enjoy living with the things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are highly versatile and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, incorporating the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent. For natural and Scandinavian interiors, pairing them with wooden furniture, plants, or interiors made from natural materials can enhance the kilim's warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with bohemian aesthetics, enhancing the overall atmosphere of a room when placed on the floor or hung on a wall. Kilims have an ethnic design and a tribal feel, making them suitable for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, and Morocco. By using 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.

Important Notes

Due to being hand-woven, there may be slight distortions in shape, uneven weaving, and uneven dyeing. Please enjoy these as part of the unique charm of a hand-woven item.
