Characteristics of the Origin (Bijar)

Bijar, 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 that stand out.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing 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. Most kilims are made of wool, but some are also produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials, and natural dyes are used for coloring, so you can use them with confidence. 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. The designs and colors vary by region, offering a diverse range of patterns to enjoy.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are not simply used as carpets or floor coverings; they are also widely used as wall hangings or as other interior items for sofas, tables, and beds. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. Kilims are not merely decorative items but are important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight its individuality. They add a unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can create a life with art, a comfortable life, and enjoy living surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims can be incorporated into various interior styles with great flexibility. In modern interiors, incorporating the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent to that space. For natural or Scandinavian interiors, pairing kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural feel. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere; laying them on the floor or hanging them on a wall can elevate the overall mood of the room. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal feel, making them a good match for 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

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If you need to clean a stain, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a cloth or towel tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, thoroughly wipe with a damp cloth to remove any detergent residue, and let it dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Please Note

Due to being hand-woven, there may be slight distortions in shape, weaving irregularities, or color unevenness. Please enjoy these as part of the unique charm of a hand-woven piece.
