Characteristics of the Region (Bijar)

Bijar, in northwestern Iran, is known for kilims woven by the Kurdish people. These rugs are extremely strong and durable. They are characterized by small floral patterns and medallions, and their beautiful designs stand out.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular and are traditional hand-woven textiles that deepen in character with age. Depending on the era in which 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 kilims 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 strongly woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups, known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns with motifs of nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The designs and color characteristics vary by region, 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 used as decorative items on walls, sofas, tables, beds, and other interior furnishings. Their distinctive designs and colors are characteristic, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. Kilims are not merely decorative items; they are positioned as important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight individuality. They add a unique charm and warmth to a living space. By incorporating kilims, you can create a lifestyle surrounded by art and comfort, and enjoy living surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interiors

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 or Scandinavian interiors, pairing kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with bohemian aesthetics, enhancing the overall room atmosphere when laid on the floor or hung on a wall. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or 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 it's particularly dirty, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel or similar cloth tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with water to remove the detergent, and dry it in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Important Notes

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