Old kilim 242×214

Kilim rugs differ significantly from hand-knotted varieties as they are woven by hand. As a result, they lack the typical high wool pile and are flatter and more robust than knotted rugs. This manufacturing method makes them less expensive and lighter, which increases their versatility as they can be used on both sides. Originally from ancient Persia, kilims are now also produced in Afghanistan. They are characterised by simple, linear patterns created by their weaving technique. This traditional style gives them a special charm and makes them a popular choice for both modern and classic interior styles.
