Kilim 244×180

Kilim rugs differ significantly from hand-knotted rugs in terms of their manufacture: they are woven by hand and do not have a raised pile of wool, which makes them flatter and rougher than knotted wool rugs. Due to their less complex construction, they are usually less expensive. Another advantage of kilim rugs is their low weight, which allows them to be used on both sides. Hand-woven kilims originally come from former Persia, but today they are also frequently manufactured in Afghanistan. Their patterns are rather simple and straightforward, which is due to the weaving technique. Kilim rugs are very popular because of their simple but robust structure and their versatility.
