Kilim 143×100

Kilim rugs differ significantly from hand-knotted rugs in that they are woven by hand. As a result, they do not have a raised pile and are often flatter and rougher. They are less complex to manufacture, which means they are usually significantly less expensive. Another advantage of kilim rugs is their lightness, and they can also be used on both sides. Hand-woven kilims originally come from former Persia, but today they are also often manufactured in Afghanistan. They are characterised by rather simple, linear patterns created by the weaving technique.
