Characteristics of the Region (Shiraz)

Rugs made by the Qashqai tribe living in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, are characterized by simple, geometric patterns. Simple animal and plant patterns, similar to those found in Gabbeh rugs, are also seen.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular and are 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 kilims using cotton or silk are also produced. 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 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 by region, offering a diverse range of design patterns to enjoy.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as carpets and floor coverings but also as other interior items, such as wall hangings, sofa throws, table covers, and bedspreads. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often used to add accent to a room. 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 a living space. By incorporating kilims, you can create a lifestyle filled with art and comfort, and enjoy living surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims offer great flexibility in how they can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, bringing unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent. For natural or Scandinavian interiors, combining kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with bohemian aesthetics; placing them on the floor or hanging them on walls elevates the overall room atmosphere. Kilims have an ethnic 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 you notice dirt, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool and silk) with water, wring out a towel or similar cloth tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with a wet cloth to remove any detergent and 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 variations. Please enjoy these aspects as part of the charm of a hand-woven item.
