What is a Kilim?

Persian handwoven kilims are globally popular and are traditional hand-woven textiles that gain character 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. While most kilims are made of wool, some are also produced using cotton or silk. They are made from natural materials. Natural dyes are also used, so you can use them with peace of mind. These handwoven kilims are durable and 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.
The vast land of Iran is home to various ethnic groups. The design and color characteristics differ by region of origin, offering a diverse range of design patterns to enjoy.

Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them a great match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, and Morocco. Placing them as tapestries or cushions can add warmth and depth to the entire room.
