What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more characterful with age. Depending on when they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are beloved by people of all ages. While most kilims are made of wool, some are produced using cotton or silk. They utilize natural materials. As natural dyes are used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are durably woven and based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups, known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns inspired by nature and animals, with each kilim having its own unique design.

Various ethnic groups inhabit the vast land of Iran. The designs and colors vary by region, offering a diverse range of design patterns to enjoy.
