Kilim 215×143

Kilim rugs differ fundamentally from hand-knotted rugs in that they are woven by hand and do not have a high wool pile, making them flatter and rougher. This makes them less expensive to produce and generally more affordable. Another advantage is their lower weight and the fact that they can be used on both sides. Originally from ancient Persia, they are now increasingly produced in Afghanistan. Kilims are characterised by their simple, linear patterns, which are created using a special weaving technique. This traditional art form has been preserved over the centuries and is known for its versatility and simple beauty.
