Kilim 160×108

Kilim rugs differ significantly from hand-knotted varieties in that they are woven by hand and do not have a high wool pile, which makes them flatter and rougher. This makes them cheaper to manufacture. Another advantage is their lower weight and the fact that they can be used on both sides. Originally from Persia, they are now also frequently manufactured in India. Their patterns are typically simple and straightforward, which is due to their special weaving technique.
