Characteristics of the Region (Bijar)

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

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular and are 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. 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 with motifs of nature and animals, and each kilim has its own unique design.
Various ethnic groups reside across 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 not only used simply as rugs or floor coverings but are also widely used as decorative items for walls, sofas, tables, beds, and other interior furnishings. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. Kilims are not just 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 room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can achieve a life surrounded by art and comfort, and enjoy a life filled with things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

The use of kilims is highly flexible 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 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, enhancing the overall feel of a room when placed 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 arranging 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 and silk) with water, wring out a towel firmly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, thoroughly wipe with a damp cloth to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Points to Note

Due to being hand-woven, there may be distortions in shape, weaving irregularities, or dye variations. Please enjoy these as part of the unique character of hand-woven items.
