Kilim 206×154

Kilim rugs have one key difference from hand-knotted rugs – they are woven by hand. They do not have a raised pile of wool and are often flatter and rougher than knotted wool rugs. Their production is less complex, which generally makes them significantly less expensive. Another advantage of kilim rugs is their lightness, which makes them easier to handle. They can also be used on both sides. Hand-woven kilims originate from former Persia and are now also widely produced in Afghanistan. They are characterised by simple, linear patterns, which are due to their special weaving technique. These rugs combine traditional craftsmanship with practical features.
