Characteristics of the Origin (Shiraz)

The carpets made by the Qashqai tribe living in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, are characterized by simple, geometric patterns. You can also find simple animal and plant patterns similar to Gabbeh.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that grow richer in character with use. Depending on the era 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. Natural dyes are also used for coloring, so you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are sturdily woven and are based on the tribal and ethnic design styles 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. The designs and colors vary depending on the region, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Other uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple carpets or floor coverings but also as decorative items on walls, sofas, tables, beds, and other interior elements. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often utilized as room accents. Kilims are not merely decorative items but are positioned as important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight its individuality. They add a unique charm and warmth to the living space. By incorporating kilims, you can achieve an art-filled and comfortable living environment, surrounded by the 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 kilims into a simple space adds an accent. For natural and Scandinavian interiors, combining kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials enhances 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 elevate the overall feel of the room. Kilims possess ethnic designs and a tribal feel, making them highly compatible with interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or Morocco. Arranging them as tapestries or cushions can add warmth and depth to the entire room.

Daily Care

Please 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 and gently wipe the surface with a well-wrung towel. Then, carefully wipe 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, weaving irregularities, or dye variations. Please enjoy these as part of the unique charm of hand-weaving.
