Kilim 295×204

Kilim rugs differ fundamentally from hand-knotted rugs in that they are woven by hand and do not have a high wool pile, which makes them flatter and rougher. Due to the less complex manufacturing process, they are generally less expensive to produce. Another advantage is their lower weight and the fact that they can be used on both sides. Originally from ancient Persia, kilims are now also frequently produced in Afghanistan. They are characterised by simple, linear patterns, which are created by their special weaving technique.
