Kilim 240×184

Kilim rugs differ significantly from hand-knotted variants as they are woven by hand. This means that they do not have a high wool pile and are often flatter and coarser. Their production is less complex, so they are usually less expensive. Another advantage is their lower weight and the fact that they can be used on both sides. Originally from Persia, kilims are now also widely produced in Afghanistan. They are characterised by simple, linear patterns created by the weaving technique.
