Additional Information
Kilim Rugs – Handwoven Flat-Weave Textiles with HeritageKilim rugs are flat tapestry-woven textiles originating from regions of the former Persian Empire, including Iran, the Balkans, and Central Asia. These rugs are renowned for their bold geometric designs, slit-weave techniques, and cultural symbolism.
Traditional Weaving TechniqueKilims are created by tightly interweaving the weft and warp threads, forming a flat surface without any pile. The weft, typically made from dyed wool, dominates the design, while the warp—often wool or cotton—remains hidden except at the fringes.
Distinctive Slit-Woven PatternsOne of the most admired features of Kilim rugs is the "slit weave" technique. When color boundaries are defined vertically, a small slit is formed, producing clean, sharp lines. This gives Kilim rugs their iconic, high-contrast appearance cherished by collectors.
Functional and Decorative UseKilims are highly versatile—used as floor coverings, wall hangings, prayer rugs, and table décor. Their lightweight and reversible nature make them ideal for easy movement and seasonal styling in both traditional and contemporary spaces.
Cultural Significance & Artisan CraftsmanshipEach Kilim rug reflects the heritage and handcraft of its region of origin. These rugs carry symbolic motifs and traditional techniques passed down through generations, making them not just a home accessory, but a piece of living history.
